bare lf problem
Ok, so I've got a command-line email utility that I'm running from DOS, and I'm trying to set up a qmail relay host. Most mail client software (Outlook Express, etc.) on my network is able to send mails through the relay, and I'm able to send mail successfully from the host itself, but not the utility; every time I tried the tcp connection ended with status 256 and nothing came through. I've discovered that this indicates the bare lf problem with some mailers, and so I'm trying to use fixcrio to resolve the problem since replacing all these non-compliant command-line utilities isn't really an answer. The script that starts qmail is: #!/bin/shQMAILUID=`id -u qmaild`NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/fixcrio \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 Now when I send an email from the command-line utility, this is what comes up in the log (this is the entire log, starting with a restart of qmail): @40003a4c5aa605104d84 tcpserver: status: 0/40@40003a4c5ab805227dc4 tcpserver: status: 1/40@40003a4c5ab8052786d4 tcpserver: pid 1099 from 192.168.20.27@40003a4c5ab80538c8cc tcpserver: ok 1099 :192.168.20.16:25 :192.168.20.27::1228@40003a4c5abe3b4ea3dc tcpserver: end 1099 status 256@40003a4c5abe3b4f28ac tcpserver: status: 0/40 The interesting thing is, despite the fact that I'm still terminating with status 256 an email gets through, but it doesn't have any info in it (no from, no subject, no body). Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: Bare LF problem
Yes! I've observed ColdFusion erroring this way whether relaying through qmail or sendmail, though. I think this is a ColdFusion problem.

Bare LF problem
ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/docs/smtplf.html We've gotten ahold of the techs at zianet, and were trying to work this problem out. Everybodies hunch about the linefeeds was correct. The question is now how to fix it. He turned on an option in his mail program that basicly, as i understand it no longer allows the mail server to accept mail with bare linefeeds, so any new email that his server accepts will be rfc conforming. But he has 75MB of mail in the queue will stray linefeeds still. What would be the best way to get this mail to us? I thought maybee hacking a perl script to cure the problem, but what other suggestions are there? Also, is there patch to qmail to allow it to accept the bare linefeeds? ___ _ __ _ __ /___ ___ /__ John Gonzalez/Net.Tech __ __ \ __ \ __/_ __ `__ \/ __ /_ ___/ MDC Computers/netMDC! _ / / / `__/ /_ / / / / / / /_/ / / /__ (505)437-7600/fax-437-3052 /_/ /_/\___/\__/ /_/ /_/ /_/\__,_/ \___/ http://www.netmdc.com [-[system info]---] 3:40pm up 102 days, 22:43, 3 users, load average: 0.06, 0.09, 0.09
