Error description

  • mlJesDo_HDRS messages issued by CSSMTP while debug level 63
    is active are corrupted by residual message output at the
    end of the messages.
    It appears that the same buffer was used for all the corrupted
    messages, and the buffer was not cleared before each message
    was moved into it:    Consequently, if the current line being
    moved into the buffer was shorter than the previous line,
    residual content from the end of the previous line was appended
    to the end of the current line.

    ****************************************************************
      The problem can be summarized as follows:
    1. CSSMTP was configured with:
       LogLevel 31 or above and
       Translate as something other than IBM-1047
    2. CSSMTP processed a mail file where one header was shorter
       than a preceding header.
    3. When the shorter header was translated and written to the
       CSSMTP log (as a result of LogLevel 31), it had residual data
       from the longer header at the end of the mlJesDo_HDRS log
       message.
    4. The mail was sent correctly.
    
    For example, the following mail file:
    HELO Host
    MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>
    RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
    DATA
    FROM: <[email protected]>
    TO: <[email protected]>
    SUBJECT: TEST EMAIL
    
     TEST
    .
    would have the following mlJesDo_HDRS log messages:
    mlJesDo_HDRS:  5: FROM: <[email protected]>
    mlJesDo_HDRS:  6: TO: <[email protected]>n>
    mlJesDo_HDRS:  7: SUBJECT: TEST EMAILomain>n>
