Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:27:27 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/2449 Too many newline characters if a message is redirected out of a cyrus mailbox to a local postfix My configuration is: cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 postfix 2.2.1 horde 3.0.5 imp 4.0.3 Mail 1.1.6 from PEAR IMP sends emails through the local "sendmail" command from postfix. This command expects lines to be terminated by "\n". The "redirect" command in IMP (which fetches the message body directly from the IMAP inbox) delivers a message which contains "\r\n" as newline characters, however. Depending on the mail servers the email passes through, the email will have an empty line between every line of text, when it reaches the recipient. I attached a patch, which converts all newline to characters to "\n" for redirected messages ... but this is probably not a universal solution, since it may break other cases ... Mon, 15 Aug 2005 20:08:21 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/2449#t10561 This appears to be a sendmail specific issue on UNIX machines. However, I *think* your patch will work since erring on the side of less newline characters always seems to work better too many newline characters (I know this is a really in-depth, technical analysis of the problem...) I will add this to HEAD for testing, and hopefully get this in before IMP 4.0.4 is released (there doesn't seem to be a Milestone input on this bug so I can't set this version requirement there).
