Xymon server is version 0.1.4, the client in this instance is BBWin 0.13 on a Server 2012 R2 system.

Occasionally, I am seeing xymon alarms with ATT00001.bin attachments instead of an actual message.

I already googled this, and applied the MAILC fix that I found to xymonserver.cfg, but it's still happening sometimes. I discovered some other bad characters that needed to be removed, so my tr command is set up to remove three characters:

For the xymond_alert module

MAILC="/usr/bin/tr -d '\\001\\004\\015' | mail" # Command used to send an e-mail with no subject #MAILC="mutt -x" # Command used to send an e-mail with no subject MAIL="$MAILC -s" # Command used to send an e-mail with a subject

Looking in the attachment that I just received, I can see hex 0D characters (carriage returns, octal 015) ... but the "tr" command that I implemented should have removed them.

Either there's a bug, or I am missing something simple. Can anyone help? I have not yet tried upgrading Xymon to the latest version.

Thanks, Shawn
