I just adjusted the sendmail invocation in the remailer scripts on menudo to include the -oi option ("/usr/lib/sendmail -oi "). This option tells sendmail to not treat a period on a line by itself as the end of input. (I remember having fun posting a message where I showed forging a usenet post - my post had such a line, and the rest of the message kept on getting truncated. Miron brought the -oi option to our attention!) However, it just occured to me that this is a simple, if unplanned, way for people who have signatures automatically appended to messages to use a remailer and have trailing lines cut! No fancy "cut here" marks for the scripts to recognize, let sendmail do the work! On the other hand, I plan to not use sendmail in the long run. I plan to upgrade to an smtp package (hopefully to avoid logging like syslog) sent to me by Peter Honeyman, so I'm going to leave the sendmail invocation with -oi. -- Karl L.
