Package: amavisd-new
Version: 20030616p10-5
Severity: important
amavisd-new can't process an email that contains a special file that has
been gzip'ed and uuencode'd. These mails are commonly generated as
reports from the 'afbackup' backup software.
It chokes when the email contains these lines anywhere in an email
(it's a small part of an 'afbackup' report):
=================================
begin 600 backup_log.42.tmp
M'XL(`.+R<T("`ZR=69/C-I*`W^=7U,;$OHU4O(]^VIE>V^-=CQWA^TU!D9"$
end
=================================
It appears that the attachment does not get created correctly in the
parts/part-00001 file because the mails sits in the queue and can't
be processed with this error message:
=================================
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

=================================
I couldn't yet figure out what exactly causes it or how to fix it. If I
find anything I'll add it here.

P.S.: I sent a similar bug report today but it was probably killed by
my mail server. If it shows up I'll merge it with this one.
