Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the
recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for
further information about the cause of this error. The error that the
other server returned was: 451 451-209.85.212.171 is not yet
authorized to deliver mail from 451 <me> to <chee...@fastcat.org>.
Please try later. (state 13).
I don't see a reason to keep this bug opened when I can't contact the
submitter, closing.
Apparently google has SMTP FAIL ... 451 is a temporary error, used in this
case for greylisting.
Anyways, my point in the bug report is that fetching the COLUMNS
environment variable is a no-op, it is completely non-functional.
To get the terminal size, you need to do something e.g. with termcap or
termios or such.
Alternately, one way to work around this without sucking in a dependency
like that would be to rename /usr/bin/diffstat to diffstat.real, and
have a trivial shell script like the following for /usr/bin/diffstat to
make the COLUMNS variable visible to the real diffstat program:
#!/bin/bash
export COLUMNS
exec "`dirname "$0"`"/diffstat.real "$@"
