Message contains bare newlines
Support knowledgebase (rsimai_imap_bare_newlines)
Applies to
eMail Server: Version 2
Symptom
Some mails are not delivered. They stick in the mailqueue as deferred
In /var/log/mail
you may find entries like this:
MAILSERVER postfix/pipe[6236]: 5E263F0BC: to=<USER@DOMAIN.de>, relay=procmail, delay=69030, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: procmail: Couldn't read "/etc/imap/procmail/USER" USER: Message contains bare newlines _ procmail: Program failure (65) of "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver" )
Cause
These mails are containing an attachment, which has not been composed according to the RFC
Especially Outlook is known as causer for this.
Solution
Either you change to another external mail client or you omit to send this kind of attachments using this mail client
or
you have to download the following package from our ftp server and save it at /tmp
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/products/emailserver/2.0/cyrus-1.6.24-80.i386.rpm
To install it type:
rpm -Uhv /tmp/cyrus-1.6.24-80.i386.rpm
Within the use of this package, the verification of "bare newlines"
is omitted and also not RFC conforming mails will be delivered.
To send collected and deferred mails immediately you may use the command postfix flush
.
Attention: The usage of this package happens on your own risk! The SuSE installation support doesn´t offer you help if problems concerning this modification appear.
