Tested whisperback from commit f4ef4ac by installing the .deb in tails/jessie ISO from commit 3a15e4e.

It claims to work fine once correcting /etc/whisperback/config.py but I never recieve the emails.

I did set up an hidden service SMTP server and configured a python3 whisperback running on Tails/Jessie as well as the released whisperback on Tails 1.2.2 to use it. The emails I recieved from the two whisperback were formatted the same way (inline OpenPGP, same header) and I achieved to decrypt both without errors. The content looks very similar, unless the size of the email which is a lot bigger for Jessie, due to a longer syslog.

1.2.2:

Content-Length: 40934
Lines: 633

tails/jessie:

Content-Length: 140169
Lines: 2160

> the admins of the schleuder list may have received Error messages -> ask them

They have recieved such error messages:

I thus suspect schleuder to become crazy when it gets long inline OpenPGP emails, which is not a regression in WhisperBack.

I wanted to try to sent Jessie logs from Tails 1.2.2 but the gpg process forked by whisperback hangs in proc.handles['stdin'].write(data) with these long data and I’m not into debugging that now (this issue doesn’t happen with the updated whisperback on Jessie).

Please confirm or infirm my analysis before I close this ticket and create a new one about schleuder being crazy.

WhisperBack send inline OpenPGP, not PGP/MIME. I can try to implement PGP/MIME and hope Schleuder prefers, or we can filter logs to remove duplicated/not relevant lines to shorten them. Thought?
