Package: exim4-daemon-heavy Version: 4.50-8 Severity: normal I'm using sa-exim 4.2-2, which works most of the time, but some of the incoming messages cause the following errors to be logged:
SA: PANIC: Unexpected error on read body (but message was accepted), file sa-exim.c, line 984: Bad file descriptor SA: PANIC: Error in error handler while trying to save mail to /var/spool/sa-exim/SAerrorsave/1139565396_1F7V12-0006Gd-Gg, file sa-exim.c, line 1470: Bad file descriptor With the help of some changes in sa-exim.c local_scan() function (logging the fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) return value), I discovered that when it works, the file descriptor passed by Exim has O_RDWR flags, and when it doesn't, the flags are O_WRONLY|O_APPEND and read() fails with EBADF (fd is open, but not for reading). Exim documentation - spec.txt 41.2 API for local_scan() - says "The file is open for reading and writing". Sometimes this is not the case, sa-exim fails, and messages are accepted without checking.
