CVR AFAIKT, it's Python's, and mailman. my archives of the raw CVR input shows that sendmail was passing it along to mailman, CVR and mailman was doing the truncation. This does ring a bell. I thought we had dealt with some NUL problems a while ago. I guess I'll have to troll through the log messages and archives to see if I can recall the details. -Barry -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

Take a look at Mailman's error log file, $prefix/logs/error to see if you're getting any Python tracebacks. Could be as you suspect, a rogue character or some other bogosity is crashing the digesting code, but for some reason still getting sent out with the partial digest. A traceback would help track this down. Also, you don't say what version of Mailman you're running. When encountering problems, please always say what OS you're using, the version of Python and the version of Mailman (at a minimum)! -Barry -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

Who's file I/O routines? Is the MTA mistaking the NUL for an EOF? If
so, what MTA are you using Steph? It should be easy to strip out the
NUL's by adding one line to SMTPDirect.py. At the top of the function
deliver(), add something like the following (untested!):
msgtext = string.replace(msgtext, '\0', '')
or, if you're using Python 2.x
msgtext = msgtext.replace('\0', '')

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help! Digest went nuts!
thanks again for the suggestions! I'll have to forward them on to the folks
who are allowed to get at the Python code. Unfortunately, I don't know
which version of Python they're using -- but this sounds like it *might* be
the key we need!
Cheers,
Steph
