2) I notice today the ReDIF-perl was not installed on RAS. after installation though, emails have broken. the to field is malformed, for example:
The following message to <"Christian Zimmermann" <zimmermann@stlouisfed.org>@mx1.stlouisfed.org> was undeliverable.
returning to 2.70 fixed the problem, so it has nothing to do with any external perl module that refreshed during install. I suspect this has to do with the following in Parser.pm:
< 'remove_newline_from_values' => 0,
#SK 'remove_newline_from_values' => 0, Obsoleted by new Unicode processing, newlines are always removed
or at least that is all I can see.
There are many differences between 2.70 and 2.74. It's not clear to me that they should cause problems with sending e-mails. At least I have not experienced any problems. Which process is sending the e-mail, where does it get the e-mail address? Perl module for sending e-mail or system call to an external process? I suppose an assumption of a newline (or white space) at the end of the e-mail address that no longer holds could cause problems when building a command line. /Sune
