The following reply was made to PR misc/14873; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "James A Wilde" <james.wilde@telia.com> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org>, <administrator@tbv.se> Cc: Subject: Re: misc/14873: corrupted file attachments when mail passes a FreeBSD v.3.1 exchanger Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 23:00:14 +0100 Hello: I have now investigated this further and have had my findings verified = by an independent UNIX consultant. I am now convinced that the problem lies not in the mail client software = but in the operating system. Somewhere between versions 2.2.5 and 3.1 FreeBSD - and possibly other = varieties of BSD UNIX became 'broken'. The problem is reproducible and demonstrable. It = has not gone away in version 3.2. Since I have now taken our Y2K-safe mail exchanger out of function as a = result of this problem and don't know in which version the problem first arose, Y2K-safe or = pre-Y2K-safe, I really need a solution within the next 30 days and would like to ask you to upgrade = the problem to critical. I repeat that you may have access to my experiments and I can arrange = that you relay from our mail exchangers for the purposes of testing for reproducibility. Thanks for your attention. mvh/regards James Wilde administrator@tbv.se Mail and DNS administrator TBV Head Office Stockholm, Sweden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
