Thank you for the advice on the fix. It is interesting though that in the clients own words "I had her send me a message that bounced yesterday and I received it. The only difference is that the signature did not come through in color. I assume that the "fix" strips away whatever code it is having problems with (font, color, etc.) or will it strip away things by default whether there is a problem or not? I guess my question would be should we expect to see different colors and fonts in our letters from the outside... or inside for that fact... or is that feature gone???"

any ideas?

Walter,

Do you have the latest version? Courier 0.37.2 doesn't, by default, reject those e-mails anymore. Rather, it rewraps them and delivers them.

Someone also told me that you can make 0.37.2 ignore the RFC violations by doing:

FWIW 0.37.2++ has an official fix that only requires a "opt BOFHBADMIME=accept" in /etc/courier/bofh config file.

Hope this helps.

William

We are getting mail rejected as well.

The interesting note here is that in our test with one client using Eudora 5.1, if the sender removes the automatic signature at the Bottom of the message, the message goes thru, replace the signature, and the MIME Error returns.

And what can our clients that are using products that send Courier incompatible RFC headers like Ebay or Microsoft folks do?: And They are able to communicate to everyone else but us, do we really believe they will change the way they behave just for our sake? A little flexibility is needed here. I know there is an Aesop Fable in there somewhere..
