You could try upgrade OpenSSL, I recall that earlier versions inserted a spurious ^M in the MIME headers, which Postfix might treat as a newline. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Can you reproduce the added newline bug by previewing a S/MIME > signed message? I have previewed the message and found no extra newlines. Besides I have a rather new OpenSSL (0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003). I still suspect Postfix to be the problem. Here is what I tried: I copied the GCC-ed version (which doesn't have an extra line) to a file and piped it to Postfix sendmail: cat testmail.txt | /usr/lib/sendmail -t When the mail arrives in my inbox it has the extra line. This was all done on one machine (delivery to local user). Then I logged in to another machine (with Sendmail) and did the same trick. The message had no extra blank line. The testmail.txt can be located at <http://arnested.dk/testmail.txt>. So I think this is not a Gnus problem (unless Gnus produces some invalid MIME that only some mail servers stumble across). I think I'll try reporting this to a postfix mailing list. -- Arne Jørgensen Valby Langgade 272, 1. tv., DK-2500 Valby, Denmark phone: +45 36 44 18 03, mobile: +45 21 65 01 13 email: arne@arnested.dk, <http://arnested.dk/> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

They are inserted by OpenSSL and the openssl option -binary instructs OpenSSL not to add them. Unfortunately I've not been able to verify a message signed with -binary. > And should they be removed? When removing the carriage returns from a signed message (signed without -binary) OpenSSL is still able to verify the message. So should Gnus cut out the carriage returns after processing by OpenSSL? > FYI: the thread on the Postfix mailing list can be found at > <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.postfix.user/65629>.
