From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686) Description of problem: After installing the 2.5.5-0.62 update under 6.2 or the 2.5.5-1 update under 7.[01], the bounce command in elm appears to work (the "Mail resent" message appears), but the mail is not sent. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter elm, choose a message 2. choose "b" to "bounce" the message 3. Enter an email address to send the message to 4. Confirm re-sending by hitting "y" Actual Results: "Mail resent" is displayed at the bottom of the screen, but no mail message is actually sent. Expected Results: The mail message should have been sent to the designated user. Additional info: The elm-2.5.5-tempnam.patch file in the SRPM appears to be defective. The patch modifies the routine remail() in the file src/reply.c to make temp file handling more secure, but fails to use the new filename variable (called tempfilename) throughout the routine. Since the original filename variable is NULL, the sendmail command invoked by system_call(buffer,0) can't find the file to send, so no message is sent. A patch to src/reply.c to fix this problem is attached. This problem also occurs in RH Linux 7.0 and 7.1, elm-2.5.5-1
Created attachment 25974 [details] patch to src/reply.c to fix this bug
