Do you mean that messages must completely follow RFC 5322,
i.e. with each line ending with CRLF (not just LF)?
Moreover since other tools (e.g. procmail) accept and/or generate
messages starting with a "From " line, it would be better to output
an error message if the message is regarded as invalid rather than
failing silently.
Anyway, even without the "From " line (which was actually my first
test, but the message was too large as an example), I don't get the
expected behavior:
$ postmap -m -q - pcre:mime_header_checks.pcre < msg
filename=foo REJECT physical line
The postmap(1) man page is quite unclear:
-m Enable MIME parsing with "-b" and "-h".
I originally assumed that this meant that "-b" and "-h" were implied.
Or does this mean that -m can be used only when "-b" or "-h" is
present? But in this case, why don't I get an error message?
