Today I encountered this on the python.org mailserver: Jan 2 14:49:54 albatross postfix/cleanup[5983]: 949B8EE99E: reject mime-error improper use of 8-bit data in message header: To: Alice Bevan?McGregor <al...@....com>, web-...@python.org from localhost[127.0.0.1]; from=<p...@....com> to=<web-...@python.org>
which resulted in this: Jan 2 14:49:54 albatross postfix/smtpd[4866]: proxy-reject: END-OF-MESSAGE: 554 permanent error; from=<p...@....com> to=<web-...@python.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<sparrow.telecommunity.com> In the bounce, pje only got the "554 permanent error" message. master.cf has: smtpd pass - - - - - smtpd -o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings -o smtpd_proxy_filter=127.0.0.1:8025 -o smtpd_proxy_options=speed_adjust 127.0.0.1:8025 runs a spamfilter written in python. So the question is - can I change something in the spamfilter to pass the error code back to the original client? On the other hand I'm wondering what that invalid 8-bit character might be, since it LOOKS like a space in the bounce I got from pje. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebra...@charite.de | http://www.charite.de
