[rt-users] tar.gz attachment strangeness -- rt-2-0-13

[Dave Young]

Hi, I cannot seem to figure this out, basically I can send almost any
attachment, except for certain tar.gz that contain text, well, sorta, I
can't seem to correlate it to one thing (content type, filename,
extension, etc.) let me try to explain:

the alias is simple:

iij-project-admin: "|/var/www/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue iij-project
--action correspond", test

test is appended just to test the attachment problem, he does get all
the attachments.

in test's mailbox I see:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=delpart.exe
Content-Type: application/x-ms-dos-executable; name=delpart.exe

the above makes it into RT

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=putty.zip
Content-Type: application/zip; name=putty.zip

also makes it

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=iij-patch.21828.tar.gz
Content-Type: application/x-gzip; name=iij-patch.21828.tar.gz

DOES NOT MAKE IT!!!!  it just isn't there..

this file contains a tar file, which then contains a few text files and
some jar files...

I've changed the file name, zipped it, still nothing, ie:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=iij-patch-21828.tar.gz.zip
Content-Type: application/zip; name=iij-patch-21828.tar.gz.zip

still does not make it into RT!

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=rsync.bat.tar.gz
Content-Type: application/x-gzip; name=rsync.bat.tar.gz

this DOES make it into RT, it's another text file, that's tarred and
gzipped....



If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated


Thanks!
