So did I. No surprise, the problem seems to concern always the same subscribers and the same digests. > are you using a mail-filter?

I'm not using any mail-filter and my MUA and MTA agree about the mailbox format. Even better yet, the logs at my MX show that the messages already arrive truncated. The last time I contacted our esteemed postmaster@freebsd.org about this, he produced logs clearly showing that already the outbound message from hub.freebsd.org was shorter than the actual digest. Ignoring this he told me he would proceed to ask the other recipients of that particular mailing whether they had received a truncated digest. I haven't heard anything since. -- Christian 'naddy' Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de See another pointless homepage at .
