The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

You need to investigate to find out at what stage the message is truncated ; perform as follows :

1. send a message to the moderated list
2. check the message in sympa's moderation spool ; if it is already corrupted, then you should have another try with sympa.pl process stopped, so you have time to check the message in sympa's msg/ spool
3. subscribe a local (to the server) user and another user (eg you) to the list
   
4. validate the moderated message
5. check if both copy of the message (sent to both users) are the same. It might indicate a problem with one SMTP server.

The original message comes into Sympa and is sent to the moderators  without any problems.  But when the moderator approves the message a  truncated copy of the message is sent out.

In the first case the message was truncated at exactly 32k  characters.  Today's truncation was at 22,552 characters. (at least  that is how big sendmail says the mail was when it get it from  Sympa)  In both cases the original was much larger.  There are no  errors in the log files.  It looks like the message is getting  truncated either in the copy to the moderation spool or in the read  from the moderation spool.

Sympa has been working well for about a year now and except for these  two instances (both with the same list) I have heard of no other  problems like this.  The list in question is used every day and has  only had two problems about two weeks apart.

Does anyone have any thought on what could be going on here?
