** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * An issue fixed upstream in later releases can cause issues with UTF + emails + + * backport the upstream fix to stable supported releases to avoid log + flooding with related error messages. + + + [Test Case] + + * using a test mail attached on this bug: + $ apt install spamassassin + $ systemctl start spamassassin + $ wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spamassassin/+bug/1862154/+attachment/5326196/+files/bug1862154.eml + $ spamc -R < bug1862154.eml + $ grep "domain is utf8 flagged" /var/log/mail.log + + If still affected this will add some lines to the log, otherwise it + won't. + + [Regression Potential] + + * The change is fortunately minimal (one line) and only changes the + output severity to not pop up in the logs. + The one risk I can think of is people expecting this output, but I + can't think of a useful real case for this. + + [Other Info] + + * n/a + + + --- + Seems that https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7632 has been re-introduced. # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
