Thank you for the report. Is this a new problem, or could it always have existed without being discovered? 'vacation' [Automatic mail answering program for Linux] has almost never been updated, at least not for years. Where do the strange mail headers come from? Are they recent, or have they always been like that? I agree about the possibility of the linebreak being the problem. Are you able to test this idea by frigging: From: "ABC" <de.fg@ab.de> to From: "ABC" <de.fg@ab.de> It seems our version of this program is the latest... CC:

lewyssmith There are two old, but still open, bug reports upstream, about the From: address not being handled correctly. https://sourceforge.net/p/vacation/bugs/ Isn't this just another one? CC:

marja11 I guess so.... I don't know if there is a more accurate variant to handle out-of-office messages, or if the sf source is outdated. But it is not nice if the reciepient does not get an answer just because of that. Will u report it upstream, should I? (In reply to Marc Krämer from comment #4) > Will u report it upstream, should I? Do you mind doing it? I hope it'll help. Since August 2010 they haven't fixed any issue reported there :-( looks like the beta version fixes the bug: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vacation/files/vacation/1.2.8.0-beta1/ I'll test the beta, report, and make the update, if possible That would be great. It is effectively a bug known upstream, and the project is moribund: the update you found is from 2014.... If the update does not fix the problem, this should go in ERRATA, and we might consider dropping it. Thanks to both Marja & Marc for juggling this. @Lewis: even if it does not work well, it is better than nothing, as we don't have an alternative. I did not have the time yet, to test that update, but the comments suggest, it is fixing it. Updated vacation package: This updates fixes issues with mail headers containing line breaks. ======================== Updated packages in core/updates_testing: ======================== vacation-debugsource-1.2.8.0-1.beta1.1.mga9 vacation-debuginfo-1.2.8.0-1.beta1.1.mga9 vacation-1.2.8.0-1.beta1.1.mga9 SRPM: vacation-1.2.8.0-1.beta1.1.mga9.src.rpm Assignee:

herman.viaene I tested vacation - it works as best I can tell. Was able to issue the commands and it seemed to happily do the functions. Whiteboard:
