Directly.

Yes, that was a problem with 2.0.x dbmail, this is not an
issue with
2.2.x series. But dspam still had a bug in 3.6.8 where it
would loose
the rn and only output n in the body part. This created
the
situation, where any line beginning with a dot would be
mangled so that
you get two dots.
For example if you send a message like:
---
hello
./some/path
bye
---
You would receive:
---
hello
../some/path
bye
---
It's correct behaviour on dbmail's part, but dspam is doing
the wrong
thing here anyway.
The worst part of this was that PDF files got mangled be
cause Outlook
is stupid and determines that a file is a binary or text by
only several
first bytes of the file. And PDF's start with chars. So
Outlook sends
PDFs as Quoted Printable.
Anyway, we discovered that after the setup went into
production,
fortunately there was a patch available from the community.
Here's the
thread about it with the patch (the patch is a workaround,
not a true
fix which should change the way the message is handled
internally by dspam):
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=dspam-dev&a=2
006-11&m=2536805
And there's a second bug, which depending on your setup
might affect
you, the thread is here:
http://mailing-list.nuclearelephant.com/index.html#3722
I'll attach both patches, they apply to 3.6.8.
Now I haven't tried dspam 3.8.0, but I didn't see these
issues mentioned
in the changelog either. So maybe it's all OK now, although
there are
still some issues with dspam as one can see from the posts
on the
mailinglists.
Sorry for the offtopic.
HTH,
