Package: osirismd
Version: 4.0.6-1
Severity: important

osirismd has issues dealing with SMTP Greet strings > 128 characters. This
is defined in md_notify.c MAX_SMTP_LINE.

Currently the mail system my osiris is talking to is sendmail (ala debian)
and this default greet is over 128, so osiris is not able to send email via a
debian packaged sendmail.

Looking at the RFC's (2821) 512 would be more appropriate as being the
maximum total length of a reply line.

http://rfc.net/rfc2821.html#s4.5.3 for more information

The obvious work around is to shorten sendmails greet, but, I believe the
real fix will be for osiris to deal with RFC compliant SMTP servers.

If there is anymore information required that I may be able to assist with
please let me know.

Regards,

Stewart James
