Please, can somebody help me? Maybe, it's a problem in the cyrus lmtp-daemon? (I don't think so...) thx Klemens ----- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ----- Datum: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:18:46 +0200 (CEST) Von: Klemens Puritscher <cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> An: info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: *****POSSIBLE SPAM***** Message contains NUL characters - howto dump? Hello, I have a problem with one of our customers. When he forwards an email with the thunderbird email client (windows version), the lmtp-daemon on my cyrus-imapd (v2.3.13) rejects those emails with the error "554 5.6.0 Message contains NUL characters". ...ok, that's clear, there are "NUL" characters in the email. But I would show my customer, where the "NUL" character is. For tests, I generate a testmail, with "echo -e "From:<sender@xxxxxxxxxxx>\nTo:<recipient@xxxxxxxxxxx>\nSubject: test\n\ntest\0000test\n.\n" > mail_with_NUL.txt Now I dump the lmtp-session on the cyrus-imapd host with: tcpdump -vv -XX -s 65535 -n -i eth1 "port lmtp and I see the "NUL" character: ... 0x0230: 7065 6564 2e61 740d 0a0d 0a74 6573 7400 peed.at....test. 0x0240: 7465 7374 0d0a 2e0d 0a test..... ... 65 = e 73 = s 74 = t 00 = NUL ...ok, fine, I can find the "NUL" character. But when I dump the lmtp-session with the customer email (which get's the error "554 5.6.0 Message contains NUL characters"), I cannot find this "NUL" character. Can someone tell me, what I did wrong? Thanks in advance.
