The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Lorenz, Sabine (SCC)" <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

 

we installed Sympa Version 6.1.23~dfsg-2 as Debian package on a Debian GNU/Linux 8 server and use exim4 as MTA.

 

I just recognized the following problem:

The distribution of the emails works fine if there is a custom_subject defined for a list but it doesn’t work properly it there is no custom_subject set for the mailinglist.

 

In this case a strange value „[ARRAY(0x4452c48)]“ is set as custom subject and this value is also set as From-Adresse.

The email is sent to the subscribers of the list but the sender (From) of the email is changed:

 

Extract of the email (found in /address@concealed/2016-04/arctxt):

…

To: <address@concealed>

From: ARRAY(0x4466d60)

Message-Id: <sabinetest.47@anonymous>

Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:58:12 +0200

X-Originating-IP: [2a00:1398:4:0:f21f:afff:fe20:ac7c]

Subject: [ARRAY(0x4452c48)] Test

 

As consequence the email can’t be archived by archived.

 

The log-entries regarding this process are the following:

Apr 13 10:56:21 lists1 sympa[5073]: notice main::DoFile() Processing /address@concealed ; sender: "Lorenz, Sabine (SCC)" <address@concealed>

Apr 13 10:56:21 lists1 archived[5072]: err main::mail2arc() Could not clean message, ignoring message

 

Does anyone have an idea why this problem occurs?

 

Thank your very much for any hints:

Best regards,

Sabine Lorenz
