A slight oddity I noticed ...
I have a recipe which, given the correct matches, generates an
auto-reply.
The recipe looks like this:
:0 c
!(/usr/bin/formail ...
On reviewing the Procmail logfile, I noticed that from time to time, an
error message appeared (Error writing to "(/usr/bin/formail ..."). On
closer examination, I could see that this only happened when the message
that was being auto-replied to was "large" (for varying values of
"large"). However, the auto-reply was still generated and sent
correctly! (If it was not being sent, I would have noticed this problem
before)
I realised that the auto-reply recipe doesn't need to see anything other
than the headers, so I changed the recipe to:
:0 h c
!(/usr/bin/formail ...
Change the explanation point to a pipe.
That was a typo, actually - my recipes of course have a "|", not "!" ...
Also, if you're in a nest
"{}", the "h" won't do any good unless it's in a filter ("fhc").
Not in a nest ...
My question is: Is there a limit on the size of message that Formail can
process?
As for the size . . . I've only seen questions regarding the recipe
size. Unless someone has a different answer, all my mail doesn't have
any problem coming through at any size unless I exceed the MTA maximum
size.
Anyone else seen this then??
Dave.
