Hi,
I have a perl script that runs as a pipe transport and injects two
e-mails back into the system via BSMTP. Up until a recent upgrade from
Woody to Sarge this all worked fine. Now, when injecting the second
message, my script hangs when closing the file descriptor to exim. The
perl looks something like this:
open BSMTP , "| /usr/sbin/exim -oMr foo -bS" or die "Unable to run exim: $!\n";
print BSMTP "MAIL FROM:<$from>\n";
print BSMTP "RCPT TO:<$to>\n";
print BSMTP "DATA\n";
# print out body
print BSMTP ".\n";
close BSMTP;
die "Exim BSMTP failed, code $?\n" if ($?);
Exim (version 4.51) does accept and queue the message. I've generated
some debug and the last few lines of debug are:
calling local_scan(); timeout=300
local_scan() returned 0 NULL
Writing spool header file
Size of headers = 334
LOG: MAIN
<= <<<log entry>>>
search_tidyup called
smtp_setup_msg entered
There would normally be another line
search_tidyup called
and then the process terminating.
I'm not sure how to continue to debug this, so any advice would be appreciated.
regards,
John
