This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 327752 [details] Patch to improve error messages of procmail Description of problem: I'm using procmail together with postfix. The delivery through procmail failed because of EFILETOOLARGE of the mailbox file. However, this error was not logged by procmail. Instead you get a general error message saying: Unable to deliver mail to "/home/XXXX/Maildir/YYYY". You do not get a errno or sys_nerrlist. The attached patch improves procmail to deliver a errno so that the user knows what went wrong. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): procmail-3.22-21.fc9 How reproducible: Use postfix as MTA. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use postfix as MTA. Set mailbox_size_limit to 100000. 2. receive a mail and use procmail as MDA. 3. look into maillog and see only a general error message Actual results: general error message Expected results: specific error message telling the reason Additional info:
