Bug #13342 Updated: A ! every 2041 letters

ID: 13342 Updated by: swm Reported By: btrinquier@publicis.fr Status: Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Linux/Apache PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: I cannot recreate this 4.0.5 or current CVS. As for line length, RFC 821 says the following: text line The maximum total length of a text line including the <CRLF> is 1000 characters (but not counting the leading dot duplicated for transparency). Theorectically, it is the responsibility of the MTA (sendmail/postfix/Exim/qmail etc) to handle this not PHP. Can you recreate this with current CVS? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-17 06:36:57] hholzgra@php.net most likely sendmail related as PHP mail() for unix just passes the message text to the local sendmail binary via popen() could someone please check the SMTP RFCs for line length limits ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-17 06:17:29] btrinquier@publicis.fr Hello, The script : $mail_body = ""; for ($i=0; $i <500; $i++) { $mail_body .= "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"; } $subject = "Testing"; mail($adress, $subjet, $mail_body); When receiving the mail, a character ! is inserted every 2041 chars. If the message is changed into : $mail_body .= "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\n"; the received mail is good. It is not very usual to send a mail without carriage return, but we discovered this bug sending an HTML message, with <br> and without \n. Introducing some \n resolve the problem.
