I have having trouble receiving emails from a company that uses Lotus Notes.

A number of strange things occur.

1) the from address contains extra characters, date and time as in

From: "+xxxxxx+tracyanne+4c1a06e9ce.MAshbury#xxxxxx.xxx.xx 29/10/2004 02":36:49.PM@spamgourmet.com

and the attachment while there, and viewable as base64 does not get processed as an attachment. The same email sent to my Hotmail account is quite ok, with no strange text in the From field and an accessible attachment.

I'd like to show this to one of the developers but I don't want to post the email content in open because the headers contain information I want to keep secret.

Tracyanne,

Send the full headers to the info address (at spamgourmet.com). Only Josh will receive it.

yeah -- I don't know what's happening to the attachment. The code doesn't touch the message body for incoming mail. It looks like you have reply address masking enabled, and the code choked on whatever format the sender was using for the from address. Seeing the headers would be very helpful. Also, seeing the headers for the other message that didn't go through spamgourmet would be extremely helpful.

Thanks I will send both shortly

Yes I do have reply address masking enabled

I replied privately -- it looks like SG is having a hard time with multi-line headers. Hopefully we can get that addressed soon.

Interesting, I didn't get the private reply.

It seems that SpamGourmet has a problem with attachments from Novel Groupwise servers as well.

Tracyanne,

Check the lines at the top of this window under "discussion forums for spamgourmet". It should say "You have no new messages" when you have no private message, otherwise click on it. You are probably using a popup blocker that is a bit indiscriminate.

What's special with the Novell Groupwise attachments? How big are they?

I have the same trouble too only for me it "just" opened up an exclusive address called "what@ever.com pm" instead of just "what@ever.com" (although later on the eaten log reported eating up messages coming in from "what@ever.com am").

Is there a chance the PM is the result of this header?

Code: Select all

PMMIME-Version: 1.0


Josh, I've also PMed you the rest of the headers.

I have a popup blocker that stops unrequested pop ups (it's the Mozilla pop up blocker)

the following text is what I see

bbs.spamgourmet.com
discussion forums for spamgourmet

FAQ :: Search :: Memberlist :: Usergroups :: Register
Profile :: Log in to check your private messages :: Log in

I can't log in as it won't accept my userid and password, although the system seems quite happy to allow me to post.

The attachments from the Novell Groupwise server are about the same size as the attachment from the Lotus Notes server - they are all MS word Documents containing Selection Criteria for Jobs in Canberra, about 15 to 20 KB when decoded.

When I attempt to log in I get the following message


You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.

Tracyanne,

Did you register on bbs.spamgourmet.com ? The BBS uses its own userID and password. Just having a spamgourmet user ID doesn't make you registered on the BBS. You need a separate user ID and password.

I see a tracyanne user who just joined, so I think you already figured that out.

Josh, SOS!

You have neither replied to my post nor to my PMs and now I keep losing each and every mail that is sent to this address!

If this goes on, I think my eaten messages log may explode soon...

Help!

Alright, Josh has fixed the problem. The AM/PM, that somehow Spamgourmet thought Lotus Notes added to the FROM, is now history.
I guess it really was a case of bad handling of multi lines headers (the AM/PM was in a line of its own).

Thanks!

So does it mean that all programs that multi line headers should work now (and not only Lotus Notes)?
