Hi,
I noticed that a decade ago some users detected "Wide character in
print" messages in their mimedefang logs.
It was supposedly fixed by adding
export LC_ALL=C
in the mimedefang init script.
(perl unicode issue)
However, my Linux distro (Gentoo) runs the following in the mimedefang
init script:
LC_ALL=C
export LC_ALL
but I'm occasionally getting the "Wide character in print" messages.
I'm running v 2.75 and Perl 5.18.2.
Any ideas?
Hi again,
Just wanted to add that I modified /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl for debugging
purposes:
/usr/bin/mimedefang.pl:
sub action_notify_sender ($) {
[...]
if (open(FILE, ">>NOTIFICATION")) {
<------>md_syslog('err', "action_notify_sender print FILE $msg");
[...]
If I check the logs, this is what I get (basically I have a custom
filter which calls action_notify_sender with the name of each attached
file):
action_notify_sender print FILE ComposicioÌ..pdf
So mimedefang and perl are choking on non-ASCII characters with "Wide
character in print" messages.
Unfortunately the consequence of all this is that some e-mail messages
aren't processed and are kept in the queue and not sent:
