Package: retchmail Version: 1:0.09-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm using retchmail on sarge, though the changelog doesn't look like this issue is different on sid, so I'm reporting it for this version. I have had strange cut off mails in the past, and tracking down the issue revealed that the error is that retchmail does not call sendmail -oi (same as -i) when passing the retrieved messages to the local MTA. This caused postfix to stop processing on lines with a single '.'. Please change the default MDA to "sendmail -oi". On a sidenote, mutt's default is sendmail -oem -oi - I'm not sure if retchmail should also pass -oem. Below is the information from exim's sendmail manpage: -oem This is the same as -oee, except that Exim always exits with a non-zero return code, whether or not the error message was successfully sent. This is the default -oex option, unless Exim is called as rmail. -oee If an error is detected while a non-SMTP message is being received (for example, a malformed address), the error is reported to the sender in a mail message. Provided this error message is successfully sent, the Exim receiving process exits with a return code of zero. If not, the return code is 2 if the problem is that the original message has no recipients, or 1 any other error. This is the default -oex option if Exim is called as rmail On another sidenote, retchmail doesn't seem to support multiple words in the MDA Override command, I had to write a sh wrapper: [MDA Override] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:995 = /home/cb/bin/sendmail-i #!/bin/sh exec /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi cb "$@" -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages retchmail depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libuniconf4.0 4.0.2-4 C++ network libraries for rapid ap ii libwvstreams4.0-base 4.0.2-4 C++ network libraries for rapid ap ii libwvstreams4.0-extra 4.0.2-4 C++ network libraries for rapid ap ii libxplc0.3.11 0.3.11-1 Light weight component system -- no debconf information Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/
