Package: inn2-inews
Version: 2.4.5-5
Severity: important
While building a private mail2news gateway I stumbled upon a limitation
regarding the number of header lines inews accepts. In lines 258 ff. of
inews.c, the following lines can be found:
| /* Too many headers? */
| if (++i > 5 * HEADER_DELTA)
| die("more than %d lines of header", i);
HEADER_DELTA is #defined to 20 near the beginning. Thus, any article
containing more than 100 header lines is rejected by inews.
In my opinion, this value should be a configurable parameter. At the
very least, this arbitrarily chosen limit should be clearly documented
(it isn't at the moment).
