Hi,
We are running

Version 8.12.7 AIX5.1
Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
NAMED_BIND NDBM NETINET NETUNIX NIS PIPELINING SCANF
XDEBUG

and also

Version 8.13.8 AIX5.3
Compiled with: LDAPMAP MAP_REGEX LOG MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
NAMED_BIND NDBM NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS
NISPLUS
QUEUE SCANF SMTP USERDB XDEBUG

When I mail a file (run as sendmail receipient < FILE) to a local
alias that dumps the file to a log and to a file, on the *.12.7 version
that file stays intact and is identical to the original. It is sent
embodied and has a long line length (a text data file).

When done on 8.13.8 the log and the file become split at 2048
characters - MAXLINE. When I recompile with MAXLINE set to something
different it is split there. ON version 8.12.7 this does not happen.

I know if it was sent as an attchment it would not be an issue but we
have to send it this way.

Any thoughts - what changed in the code and what part of the code
controls buffering the body and adding newlines into it at the MAXLINE
bounday?

Solved my own problem....


Between Sendmail versions a code change was made so the MaxMimeHeaders
was set to 2048 even if it was not defined anywhere (it use to be read
from the config file and if not set it remained as the default value of
0)???? After this change it was also set in conf.c to MAXLINE or 2048.
THis meant when we sent a mail message embodied with a line length
greater than MAXLINE it was split. Setting MaxMimeHeaders to -1/-1 in
the config file sorted this out.....
