--- Begin Message ---Package: logwatch Version: 7.4.3+git20161207-2 Severity: important Tags: newcomer Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? logwatch was examining logs after I had installed a lot of iptables system logging to see whether my firewall was working while I poked from outside. It tried to send a line in the report that was very long - 2048 characters or so. It linewrapped this line down somewhat randomly adding ! to the end of the line to show this and one of the lines was 1040 characters long. However, exim4 has a line length check and refuses to send mail which it gets from SMTP with lines longer than 998 octets. It fails to send the mail somewhat incomprehensively with the error message that I include in the title of this report. Lines longer than 998 are apparently prohibited by the standard. The user gets a bounce message which is completely enigmatic and gives no real hint what the problem is. (The exim4 config script admits that what is done there is a hack). * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? First, while trying to find out what was happening, I disabled the line length restriction in exim4 (having first found out how to do this). This worked and allowed me to get the mail - and the sample lines below. Alternative and better solution: I added --encode=base64 to 00logwatch in cron.daily, after ensuring that libmime-tools-perl was installed. Line wrapping is no longer a problem. * What was the outcome of this action? Both solutions worked and allowed the mail to be sent. I think that logwatch should be distributed with --encode=base64 selected to avoid this problem. ---------------- section from log that logwatch tried to send This is linewrapped as it came out of logwatch. Perhaps the line wrapping code should be improved? However my first attempt to send this fell over the same linelength restriction in exim4. So I've base64'd the source lines. --------------------- cut and run base64 -d file ---------------------- dGNwKDEsMyw0LDYsNyw5LDEzLDE3LDE5LDIwLDIxLDIyLDIzLDI1LDI2LDMwLDMyLDMzLDM3LDQy
