Package: mlmmj Version: 1.2.19.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream When mlmmj-send injects mail into the MTA, it uses SMTP to 127.0.0.1 on port 25.
Unfortunately, it doesn't correctly implement the SMTP standard: it sends an EHLO command immediately after it gets the first line of the greeting, which in my case starts with "220-" and is followed by additional lines. The result is that it interprets these additional lines of the greeting as a response to the EHLO, which of course fails. I don't know if this wrong behavior is simply because it only waits for one line (and, I'd guess, checks that the line starts with "2"), or because it is confused by the several seconds the MTA waits before sending its greeting. Both kinds of behavior have been observed in many spamming tools which is precisely why I have configured a multiline greeting and a delay. In my opinion when mlmmj runs on the same host as the MTA, it should be at least an option to inject mail directly via a pipe to /usr/sbin/sendmail; but I have not found such an option. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.9 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.16-x86_64-linode118 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages mlmmj depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.61 ii equivs-mta [mail-transport-agent] 1.0 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u4 mlmmj recommends no packages.
