Hi.

I recently installed the latest Courier, and ever since it has been bouncing emails from networksolutions.com, which are always sent in plain text format.

The message in the error log is the notorious:

550-This message has 8-bit content, but does not have the required MIME headers....

To be blunt, this isn't true. I have received the self-same messages though my ISP who is running a different mail server and they are most definitely plain text. This is somewhat problematic, as the networksolutions.com messages are critical for keeping my DNS running sweetly.

Any thoughts?

Actually, now I think of it, I have a thought. Is it possible to have Courier store rejected mail messages in some place where I can examine it?

For example, publicly reject it but actually deliver it to an administration account. At least then I would not have to scour the logs to alert me when malformed but nevertheless important mail is being rejected.

I am working on the assumption that such code might already be in place controlled by some debug flag.
