I decided to blow away my bounce patches and upgrade to 3.0.2 so I could
find out more about this problem.
I grabbed a jpeg image and renamed it to %image1
I sent an email to RT to open a request - then replied to the request and
included %image1 as an attachment.
The messages gets part way through being accepted via the rt-mailgate
gateway, then fails. Of course it is respooled as it is a temporay
failure causing multiple entries.
Looking at the ticket via the web it looks ok, but if you try to view the
image from RT you get a 400 Bad request.
Did anyone else try this? Or is only my installation that barf’s at
filenames that start with a %

Bugger, there must have been something else unusual about that message -
and of course because it was overloading things I failed to keep a copy of
it.
However sending the message to 3.0.0 was accepted when I did the message
from pine, although I got an error from the web server when I tried to
view the attachment.
I do know the original came from an apple user and was sending screenshots
to show an error he was receiving, and seem to remember the mime type
having apple mentioned in it.
I am going to try and get a hold of this user and see if they can forward
me a copy of the email so I can analyse it properly and get some decent
feedback to you on the problem.
There is an issue somewhere here…maybe specific to my system.

Can you verify that this is still a problem with RT 3.0.2?

I seem to have found a way to break rt 3.0.0.
A user sent a message with an attachment (actually Several) with a
filename of %Picture1
It only breaks things for that ticket, however, I am not able to do any
testing of it at the moment, and am working hard to purge the stuff from
the DB (some of it seems to be entered into the DB).
The failure occurs at the mailgateway, so the message never gets totally
accepted by RT and the rt-mailgate failes - so the message is inserted
several times. It does end up choking the system a bit.
Has anyone else seen this (or in a postion to test this).
