From RFC2822:

4. Obsolete Syntax Earlier versions of this standard allowed for different (usually more liberal) syntax than is allowed in this version. Also, there have been syntactic elements used in messages on the Internet whose interpretation have never been documented. Though some of these syntactic forms MUST NOT be generated according to the grammar in section 3, they MUST be accepted and parsed by a conformant receiver. This section documents many of these syntactic elements. Taking the grammar in section 3 and adding the definitions presented in this section will result in the grammar to use for interpretation of messages. When using fetchmail in combination with groupwise to forward messages from my groupwise account to my imap account I get following error: : host /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 554 5.6.0 Message contains NUL characters (in reply to end of DATA command) Although it is Cyrus rejecting this messages, the problem is that Postfix is forwarding and therefore generating that kind of messages. Here are some links I found when looking at that problem: http://marc.info/?l=info-cyrus&w=2&r=1&s=contains+nul+characters http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
