------- Comment #6 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-02-05 16:04 -------
Regarding (a): It's true that it changes the semantics of smtp_respond(), but 
I thought that smtp_respond() is the right level to do the wrapping on. *If* 
the wrapping is something necessitated by the SMTP protocol, that is. 
Considering that RFC 2821 allows 512-character lines, wrapping at around 80 
characters doesn't seem really necessary. But in that case there shouldn't be 
any automatic wrapping at all; the admin should make sure that any customized 
messages have line breaks where he wants them. The same goes for (b): if the 
wrapping is SMTP specific, then of course messages from acl_not_smtp or 
batched SMTP are of no concern (and those messages would better be wrapped to 
$COLUMNS).

But if the wrapping is where it is because it is generally a good idea to keep 
individual lines of text shorter than 80 characters, independently of the 
protocol, then it is wrong to put the wrapping in smtp_respond().

Which of my remarks did you construe as doubts regarding the interaction 
between ACLs and smtp_respond()?
