Hi there,
I was playing around with the email module for the past few hours,
because of the following problem:
When an email sent with <email>/ contains a long line (~1000+ chars), at
some point spaces are inserted into the message "randomly".
Here is a test-case:
<email mimetype="text/html" from="[email protected]" to="[email protected]"
subject="SUBJECT">
0123456789abcdef 0123456789abcdef 0123456789abcdef 0123456789abcdef

The question is, where does the additional whitespace come from?
BTW: I am using Roxen 4.5.146
I did a few tests with the email module and come to the conclusion, that
the problem might reside deeper, since the message is still intact
before the "o->send_message(from, to, message)" call.
Looking into SMTP.pmod, in the function send_message(), the mail-body is
still intact.
Digging deeper brought me to the NNTP->command() function, and from
there I came to Stdio.File()->write(). That's where I stopped, because
this is beyond my limited pike knowledge.
Could anybody please verify the problem? Maybe on a Roxen 5 with a
recent pike version?
To the more pike affine people:
To me it seems as if a buffer fills up during the SMTP negotiation, and
upon spillover the space is inserted into the message. Maybe this is
this per design? Can anybody think of a solution for this problem?
Best regards,
Sascha
