Re: 'WORD TOO LONG'

2003-06-13 08:20:25

   As far as I can tell, the whole header is missing.

   The procmail logs says unfiltered data sucessfully recovered, but the
mail is missing the entire header cleanly every time its missing.  The
call to procmail in sendmail.cf does not use -f-. The problem is not that
the e-mail is missing the From line, the problem is that the headers are
not being recovered after the 'word too long' error in FORMAIL, and the
mail is being delivered without headers.

Mlocal,         P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=procmail -Y -a $h -a ${client_name} -a ${client_addr} -a $f 
-d $u
Mprog,          P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=10/30, R=20/40, D=$z:/,
                T=X-Unix,
                A=sh -c $u

     Thanks for your time,  Homer

     Haven't been able to capture the spam causing it...

     I am most concerned about the corrupted mail boxes, haven't had
them in ages.  This is a popper only machine, no one has direct access.

Does your call to procmail (from sendmail or .forward) include the -f-
flag?  See `man procmail'.  This should obviate missing From_ lines.
Otherwise, a known bug involves some filtering recipes (that use the
f flag) which can, under some circumstances, corrupt From_.  Check
the list archives for examples of kludges with sed to fix this.
