Folks:
In majordomo (or at least versions 1.60 through 1.92), a line beginning
with a "dash" in a message to majordomo is consider a command for
majordomo to stop processing commands (useful if your mailer adds
a signature):
#line 153 of 1.92 majordomo
elsif ($cmd =~ /^-/) { print REPLY "END OF COMMANDS\n"; last; }
It has come to my attention that some systems put such a dash in (some
as the first line of the body of the message!). For example, IBM's
OfficeVision gatewayed through IBM's Advantis network inserts the
following line as the first line in the body of the message:
----------------------- Mail item text follows ---------------
I understand that OfficeVision is one of the largest mainframe-based
mail systems, so this could effect other people trying to send email
to majordomo.
Are people aware of this problem?
Thanks in advance.
