Tips for the week: Feb 17 2006
Q: I used the getbulk utility from Emanate on a rather large packet. It returns an error instead of returning a partial packet, as the standard says it should. Why doesn't this work?
A: Emanate's version of getbulk is sort of non-standard and has a hardcoded 2048 byte limit. A packet can be returned by the agent that can be larger, but this version of getbulk can't handle it. There is a special version of getbulk available which goes up to 4096 available on the Yahoo group files section for download. (Ask me if you don't how to get it.) However, it still doesn't return an incomplete packet.
