           Summary: lack of correct truncated string length storage in spam
                    address
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.84
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: high
         Component: Content Scanning
        AssignedTo: tom@???
        ReportedBy: exim20141126@???
                CC: exim-dev@???

Config option:

spamd_address = xxxxxxxxx.yyyy.zzzzzz.com.au 783

Logged error message:

spam acl condition: warning - spamd connection to xxxxxxxxx.yyyy.zzzzzz.co^O^C,
port 783 failed: Network is unreachable

Note the two control characters at the end.

Now my bad for assuming that Exim can handle hostnames there (/really/
wish it did) but Exim should handle the mistake properly. It seems to me
that it stores the full length of the original string along with the
truncated version rather than the length of the truncated string. End result
is that it reads, and displays, memory it shouldn't.

Could do with fixing. =)
