Followup-For: Bug #525817
Package: mimedefang
Version: 2.64-6
hi,
I have read the comment for the check, for reference:
# If the banner contains our host name, there's a loop!
# However, don't check if $server is explicitly 127.0.0.1
# because presumably that indicates the caller knows
# what he or she is doing.
if ($server ne '127.0.0.1') {
my $host_expr = quotemeta(get_host_name());
if ($text =~ /\b$host_expr\b/) {
the problem is:
mailgw2:/etc/mail# telnet sushi.unix-ag.uni-kl.de 25
Trying 2001:638:208:ef34:0:ff:fe00:65...
Connected to sushi.unix-ag.uni-kl.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 sushi.unix-ag.uni-kl.de ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8/Debian-3+etch1; Fri,
19 Feb 2010 00:07:43 +0100; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from:
mailgw2.uni-kl.de(OK)-mailgw2.uni-kl.de [IPv6:2001:638:208:120::221]
\b is "Match a word boundary"
So this check matches on the default sendmail hello message, which makes
it quite contraproductive. (And just to nitpick: why exclude 127.0.0.1 but
not ::1? (-;)
Looking at mimedefang.pl.in of the src-package in unstable it seems like
2.67-3 is affected too.
