Hi, A long time ago (in April) I posted a question about an very annoying extra line in the mail headers. I had no time to follow it up myself then, but now I am reinstalling qmail and would like to know if anyone knows what the problem is. Since it hasn't come up in the list, I assume that no one else has the problem.
This is how my mail headers look: +OK 1043 octets Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc etc etc. So, the first line is definetely NOT a RFC header... For most mail readers, that's no problem; but when I try to bounce (forward) a message, this line breaks the whole thing and I can't send a correct message. Suggested was to uncommment the Netscape Progress Bar Patch, but that didn't help. I use fairly old patches (I couldn't even find which ones, since I renamed them...), because i have difficulties getting the newer ones to work on debian. Probably if i spent more time studying the pathces AND debian, I might succeed, but I have to less time and a very stable qmail so please don't yell at me. I am just wondering if I can simply comment some lines out in qmail.c to get rid of the problem... -Ace On Tue, Apr 03, 2001 at 02:13:10AM +0100, Ace Suares wrote: > ------- Forwarded message follows ------- > > Hi Henning, > > > Ah, I see, it is in the headers, I thought of the protocol layer > > where it is correct. > No, somehow the protocol layer transfers it towards the headers, it > looks like. > > > > > What POP3-client do you use?

Which patch do you use and do you use the cluster option. (It could be that there is a bug in the session forwarding that I did not detect until now). -- later Claudio mailto:{HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"}[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Ace Suares, Internet Consultancy and Training | Keizersgracht 132, 1015 CW AMSTERDAM, NL | phone: 06 557 06 554 (+31 6 557 06 554) | fax: 08 48 707 705 (+31 84 870 770 5) | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key idea: 0x39B81FE5 | http://www.suares.com
