mailbot error

Hi,

I am running the following Courier suite on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.6:

courier-maildrop-0.64.0-1.4ES

courier-authlib-userdb-0.63.0-1.rh4ES

courier-authlib-devel-0.63.0-1.rh4ES

courier-maildrop-wrapper-0.64.0-1.4ES

courier-0.64.0-1.4ES

courier-pop3d-0.64.0-1.4ES

courier-authlib-0.63.0-1.rh4ES

courier-imapd-0.64.0-1.4ES

When I tried to use mailbot to do autoresponse and it failed with the following error:

$ mailbot -n -t away.msg.3 -s'Autoreply test' -c 'UTF-8' cat < orig.msg

Attached are the orig.msg and away.msg.3 files. The autoreply message file contains Chinese characters in UTF-8 codeset.

Please advise on how to solve the problem.

Thanks.

Try updating to the current version of Courier. This works for me, and there  
have been a lot of changes to this code in the last two years. In  
particular, all the internal unicode translation code has been removed, and  
replaced with the system libiconv library.

Re: mailbot error

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the recommendation.

I tried to compile courier-0.67 and it failed in rpmbuild:

RPMbuild errors:

File must begin with "/":%{_unitdir}/courier.service

I am using RHEL 4 Nahant Update 6, 32-bit kernel, and I don't seem to find where the macro _unitdir is expanded from. Can you advise? Thanks.

Regards,

Fred

The RPM scripts get built on Fedora, which switched to systemd. This is  
systemd-related stuff.

A new build, dated 20111229, will be available shortly, that will probably  
build with initscripts, but I have no effective means of testing it. You can  
try to build it, but try to test it first on a non-live system, before  
installing it for real.

Re: mailbot error

Hi Sam,

I compiled the new build 20120102 successfully on RHEL 4.6 and tested the mailbot with success.

Thanks.
