Package: backupninja
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: normal
The smarthost for my server rejected backupninja's emailed error report
because it contained an error line in excess of 3000 characters. The
line was an "Error:" line containing a rdiff-backup stack dump due to
running out of disk space on the remote backup server. Rejecting such
mails with a '500' error is valid according to RFC 5321 4.5.3.1.
Please limit line length of reports before emailing them so they won't
be rejected by mail servers that only implement the mandatory minimum
of 1000 characters as specified in the RFC. For example, the message
could be passed through 'fold -s' before emailing.
Thanks,
Ben
