Package: rss2email
Severity: minior

Hello Maintainer,

I run an intranet server for 73 users and du to X-Mas spam I was  runing
out of diskspace on /home where the MAILDIR of the users are.

While procmail send an error back to my courier-mta and the mail  stayed
without problems undelivered in the spool of the courier-mta,  "r2e run"
was not able to detect "disk full" state and killed ANY *.dat  files  to
ZERO Bytes.

I consider this as a grave error and of course, feed config and download
log should be seperated as already mentioned in another Bug-Report.

To avoid a sitze problem (it seems, r2e can not handel *.dat files  with
more then 1200 kBytes) in the *.dat files I have already splited my  RSS
Fedds into:

~/.rss2email/Bia2.dat
~/.rss2email/Erdbeerlonge.dat
~/.rss2email/IAEA.dat
~/.rss2email/Maxim.dat
~/.rss2email/PressTV.dat

~/.rss2email/Spiegel_Online_-_Warcrimes.dat
~/.rss2email/Spiegel_Online_-_Wars.dat
~/.rss2email/Spiegel_Online_-_Wirtschaft.dat
~/.rss2email/Texas_Instruments.dat

and run them timely organized from "crontabs".

I suggest to split the *.dat files into 

    1)  *.conf          containe the feed info
    2)  *.dat           containe Info about downloaded articles

Also should r2e verify before downloading articles, whether it can write
a temporary file in the appropriaed sizes which then  is  moved  to  the
original *.dat file.  All other actions are definitively crap.

Thanks, Greetings and nice X-Mas
