I've just checked one that I'm catching, sent from my own mail
server (FreeBSD, exim-4.12, exiscan-4.12-23), through the web
interface, to another of my systems (more-or-less identical but
with exiscan-4.12-25 and without the web interface).
The offending lines are 77 characters, where the 77th character
is "^M". Seems to be introduced by the web interface (in my
case, an old version of Roxen Challenger; an upgrade to something
different, probably Horde, is in the works but still several
weeks off).
Is there an easy way (sorry, I'm not a very good programmer) to
check what that last character is and, if it's "^M", ignore it?
(Is that even a safe thing to do?)
Cheers,
Kyle
