SMTP Server errors

Hey everyone,

I have an issue where email is working fine in our Windows environments but is blowing up in our AIX environments.

Here is the related functions that are getting called:
Code:
int get_smtp_line( void )
{
   char ch = '.';
   char in_data [MAXOUTLINE];
   char * index;
   int retval = 0;

   index = in_data;

   while (ch != '\n')
   {
      if ( (retval = gensock_getchar (SMTPSock, 0, &ch) ) )
      {
         gensock_error ("gensock_getchar", retval);
         return -1;
      }
      else
      {
         *index = ch;
         index++;
      }
   }


   return atoi(in_data);
}

Code:
int GENSOCK_EXPORT
gensock_getchar (socktag st, int wait, char FAR * ch)
{
   connection * conn;
   int retval = 0;

   conn = (connection *) st;
   if (!conn)
      return (ERR_NOT_A_SOCKET);

   if ((retval = conn->getchar(wait, ch)))
      return (retval);
   else
      return (0);
}


When I run this in AIX, ch stays as '\0', where in Windows it changes as expected. I'm completely lost on this. Any help?

NAME
Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP::XFORWARD - A module to add support to the XFORWARD command in Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP SYNOPSIS
use Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP; my @local_domains = qw(example.com example.org); my $server = new IO::Socket::INET Listen => 1, LocalPort => 25; my $conn; while($conn = $server->accept) { my $esmtp = new Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP socket => $conn; # activate some extensions $esmtp->register('Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP::XFORWARD'); # adding some handlers $esmtp->set_callback(RCPT => &validate_recipient); $esmtp->process(); $conn->close() } sub validate_recipient { my($session, $recipient) = @_; my $domain; if($recipient =~ /@(.*)>s*$/) { $domain = $1; } if(not defined $domain) { return(0, 513, 'Syntax error.'); } elsif(not(grep $domain eq $_, @local_domains) && $session->get_forwarded_addr != "10.1.1.1") { return(0, 554, "$recipient: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied"); } return(1); } DESCRIPTION
When using a Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP script inside a MTA and not in front of Internet, values like client IP address are not accessible to the script and when the script returns mail to an other instance of smtpd daemon, it logs "localhost" as incoming address. To solve this problem, some administrators use the XFORWARD command. This module gives the ability to read and store XFORWARD informations. METHODS These methods return the values set by the upstream MTA without modifying them so they can be set to undef or "[UNVAILABLE]". See Postfix documentation for more. o get_forwarded_values : returns a hash reference containing all values forwarded (keys in lower case). o get_forwarded_name : returns the up-stream hostname. The hostname may be a non-DNS hostname. o get_forwarded_address : returns the up-stream network address. Address information is not enclosed with []. The address may be a non-IP address. o get_forwarded_source : returns LOCAL or REMOTE. o get_forwarded_helo : returns the hostname that the up-stream host announced itself. It may be a non-DNS hostname. o get_forwarded_proto : returns the mail protocol for receiving mail from the up-stream host. This may be an SMTP or non-SMTP protocol name of up to 64 characters.
