Package: inn Version: 1:1.7.2debian-29 Severity: normal
The cron script that runs early every morning to do daily tasks
for the news server seems to be embedding a '\0' byte (ASCII NUL)
in its output. In my case, that causes my ISP's virus filter to
bounce the message, with original message attached; after the
message reaches 107kB in size, part of the original message gets
cut off and the message finally gets sent to me. Here's the body
of one of the bounce messages:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data:
host smtp.xxxxxxx.net [63.240.77.77]: 556 null byte in data
Here's what remains of the original message:
