Package: retchmail
Version: 1:0.09-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm using retchmail on sarge, though the changelog doesn't look like
this issue is different on sid, so I'm reporting it for this version.
I have had strange cut off mails in the past, and tracking down the
issue revealed that the error is that retchmail does not call sendmail
-oi (same as -i) when passing the retrieved messages to the local MTA.
This caused postfix to stop processing on lines with a single '.'.
Please change the default MDA to "sendmail -oi".
On a sidenote, mutt's default is sendmail -oem -oi - I'm not sure if
retchmail should also pass -oem. Below is the information from exim's
sendmail manpage:
-oem This is the same as -oee, except that Exim always exits
with a non-zero return code, whether or not the error message was
successfully sent. This is the default -oex option, unless Exim is
called as rmail.
-oee If an error is detected while a non-SMTP message is
being received (for example, a malformed address), the error is
reported to the sender in a mail message. Provided this error
message is successfully sent, the Exim receiving process exits with
a return code of zero. If not, the return code is 2 if the problem
is that the original message has no recipients, or 1 any other
error. This is the default -oex option if Exim is called as rmail
On another sidenote, retchmail doesn't seem to support multiple words
in the MDA Override command, I had to write a sh wrapper:
[MDA Override]
[email protected]:995 = /home/cb/bin/sendmail-i
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi cb "$@"
