Hi,

Since I moved my file server to 9.1, I am seeing a problem with
mailutils/movemail:

movemail pop://on@mail.cs.ac.th file password

will hang is any message in the mailbox contains a NULL (0x00)
character.

Thunderbird is unaffected.

movemail will hang in _tls_stream_push when mu_stream_sequential_write
returns an error. So far I could not find the source code for
mu_stream_sequential_write.

If I use movemail with imap, it enters an infinite loop.

I still have to understand why there are messages with NULL inside,
those messages appears to be manggled messages, composed of parts of
other messages.

The NFS file server is FreeBSD-9.1, the pop/imap server if FreeBSD-8.4,
running courier-imap with SSL, accessing maildir mailboxes through NFS.

I have been trying movemail on:
- the file server itself (movemail 2.2 and 2.0 from the ports and from
  GNU);
- a 9.1 nfs client (movemail 2.2 from the ports);
- a 8.4 nfs client (movemail 2.0 from GNU). previously my file server,
  movemail has been running for years.

Any clue will help.

Best regards,

Olivier
