Autor: Ted Cooper Data: A: Exim Users Assumpte: [exim] BODY=7BIT
I've been getting a LOT of errors similar to the following in my logs. I
haven't cared all that much since after some initial quick checking,
every one of the connections ended up being a spam bot that would have
been blocked by other means anyway.
2011-02-24 09:25:26 SMTP syntax error in "MAIL
FROM:<fpoole@???> SIZE=1016 BODY=7BIT"
H=r190-64-150-215.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy (anteldata.net.uy)
[190.64.150.215] I=[203.211.140.242]:25 malformed address: SIZE=1016
BODY=7BIT may not follow <fpoole@???>
However, after some very quick checks, it seems that this construct is
actually valid. Each host is using EHLO so any esmtp extensions should
be available.
Is this a bug in Exim, or do I just not have it compiled to know
anything about the BODY= extension? Or am I seeing something from a
massively outdated RFC that no one cares about any more.
I haven't found a legitimate host doing this yet, but apparently some
version of the MS SMTP Connector (Exchange) use it, and if they turn up,
I'd like to accept them without error.
