Yeah I tried to look up the sendmail configuration (about exim no
idea), read the man pages, and looked up sendmail.cf. I did not find
any reference to mimecode. Any idea where I could look also?
Does your mailer set the "9" flag? I think so, because that's the
default. If so, replace it by an "8" flag (to claim 8bit clean) and see
what happens, should help.
Looking at an older FreeBSD sendmail.cf, I see:
Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qPSXfmnz9,
S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
D=$z:/,
The 9 in the F= argument is responsible for MIME qp/base64 -> 8bit
conversion in text/plain parts. Looking at cf/README, I find: you can
tweak LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS in your .mc file (default PRmn9 in my version),
LOCAL_SHELL_FLAGS (default eu9), PROCMAIL_MAILER_FLAGS (default SPhnu9)
as well.
So, I'm not even a sendmail user any more, haven't used it in production
since 1999.
