Description Henrique Martins 2003-11-22 17:45:16 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031114

Description of problem:
Upgrading from RH9 to Fedora broke nmh's send capability.  On mailog
the error is of the form:
  postfix/postdrop[XXXX]: fatal: uid=XXX: unexpected record type: 84 
according to these two web posts:
  http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2003-07/0443.html
  http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2003-07/0444.html
this is due to:
  You're using sendmail/postdrop commands
  from different Postfix versions. 

I was using postfix before upgrading and it worked.  I uninstalled
postfix (saving my configuration) did a find for any file named
*sendmail* and did not find anything important (some doc, perl and
emacs files were left).  I re-install Fedora's rpm and the error was
still there.

I then uninstalled Fedora's version one more time, downloaded version
postfix-2.0.16 from postfix.org and installed it.  Works fine.

Postfix seemed to work, just its sendmail interface which nmh expects
didn't

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
postfix-2.0.11-5.i386.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install nmh
2. create a draft folder
3. try to send it
    

Actual Results:  Bounces back (from Emacs) fails from the command
line. One line like:
  postfix/postdrop[XXXX]: fatal: uid=XXX: unexpected record type: 84
is appended to /var/log/maillog

Expected Results:  send the message

Additional info:

Only made it fail with nmh.  Not sure whether invoking sendmail
directly will fail.

This is a duplicate of bug 108960 which has been fixed. A new rpm is
being pushed through the Fedora update process, but that may take a
while, in the interim you may download a copy of the rpm from here:

ftp://people.redhat.com/jdennis/postfix-2.0.16-1.i386.rpm

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 108960 ***

Comment 2 Henrique Martins 2003-11-24 17:16:25 UTC

Sorry for the duplicate! I only queried Fedora version 1, did not
include versions test1, test2 and test3 and thus didn't find 108960.

New rpm referenced there seems to fix my problem. Thanks.

Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
