Hi, we have installed and configured a RIPE Database server for private use. We have added mntner and person objects in the database by email and it succeeded. When we try to add new inetnum objects the creation failed even if the syntax check is passed.

The e-mail address on the "changed:" attribute is incorrect. It must be a valid e-mail address. Is it perhaps a non-ASCII domain name here? -- Shane Kerr RIPE NCC

Hello, I'm Roberto. Following there is the text that I sent to our DB: password: XXXXXX inetnum: 193.42.141.0 - 193.42.141.255 netname: SPC-NETWORK descr: Sistema Pubblico di Connettività country: IT admin-c: GF1-SPC tech-c: RR1-SPC status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: SPC-DBM-MNT changed: roberto.recchia@csp.it source: SPC The e-mail address is valid and it is in ASCII mode. The domain name is correct, but anyway we get always the same error. The scenario is the same also when I sent another e-mail address. It seems that the program find the string "PU......WL(" but this string doesn't exist on text email... Which is the system/application/script used by your db to transfer object email to sintax control application? In the Whois configuration file there are special flags to set ? Thanks in advance.

Below you can see the latest test report (the first part come from updlog.20040601, the second from acklog.20040601). In the report you can see: - the correct copy of e-mail sent to auto-dbm account; - the automatic reply with the "sploiled" string. Have you any idea???? Thanks. Roberto

Hello, I'm Roberto.
Following there is the text that I sent to our DB:
password: XXXXXX inetnum: 193.42.141.0 - 193.42.141.255 netname: SPC-NETWORK descr: Sistema Pubblico di Connettivit? country: IT admin-c: GF1-SPC tech-c: RR1-SPC status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: SPC-DBM-MNT changed: roberto.recchia@csp.it source: SPC
The e-mail address is valid and it is in ASCII mode. The domain name is correct, but anyway we get always the same error. The scenario is the same also when I sent another e-mail address. It seems that the program find the string "PU......WL(" but this string doesn't exist on text email... Which is the system/application/script used by your db to transfer object email to sintax control application? In the Whois configuration file there are special flags to set ?
Thanks in advance. Roberto
