3202.0. "SMTP GW - uudecode non MIME ?" by NNTPD::"ducrett@mail.dec.com" (Thomas Ducret) Fri May 23 1997 17:20

Hello,

we have problems decoding the uuencoded mails with a non-MIME header.
When the attachement is decoded manually the output is correct. But
manual decoding is NOT a workaround for normal users. They believe
that the attachments got lost.

An other site of the same company dropped our SMTP-Gateway and installed 
a PC-based solution at lower costs. This solution works well and decodes 
even non-MIME mails!!

We are in a difficult political situation. To save our SMTP-Gateway we
need a workaround to handle this kind of mails.  (SMTP Gateway V2.1.3)

Please contact me for more informations. Every help will be appreciated.


Regards,

Thomas

Are you using the script in /var/smtpgw/examples? 

Whats the problem with it? 

> When the attachement is decoded manually the output is correct.

By this do you mean a manual invocation of 'uudecode' on the body of the encoded
message, or a manual invocation of the custom_decode script? Does the latter
work?
