[rt-users] mail gateway failure

[Peter Ziobrzynski]

It looks like some combination of characters in the ticket message can 
crash rt-mailgate. One of the tickets was stuck in the sendmail queue 
with sendmail failing to deliver it to the rt-mailgate alias. Each time 
the sendmail ran the queue a comment was added to the ticket.
I looked at the ticket and somebody pasted a part of the PDF file into 
the message with a bunch of postscript like text.
I took the mail message off the sendmail queue and ran it by hand and I 
see the following error:



# cat dfh59K26gU022638 | /usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --debug --queue 
Incoming --action comment --url http://ticket.foo.com/
