Hm - just consider the possibility that the problem is an INVALID "EOL"
sequence.

SMTP requires a CR/LF combination at the end of a line.

But, some operating systems (like UNIX) just use a "LF", some just a "CR"
(at some time MACs), and sometimes programmers accidentally code "LF/CR". 

There have been cases, where a software tries to "fix" invalid EOF
sequences, by replacing a single "CR" (not followed by a LF) or a single
"LF" (not preceded by a "CR"), with a CR/LF - and the fails in the case of a
LF/CR sequence becoming a LF/CR/LF or a CR/LF/CR - which another application
might interpret as two EOLs.

My point - make sure you inspect the original file using a HEX editor for
single CR or single LF characters - THIS might be the ultimate source of the
problem and the trigger of all subsequent issues.

Subject: [MBF] Re: Call external batch file from Declude

Ok, Here ya go...

For this customer of mine, I am scanning all their email for spam and
viruses and then forwarding the email to their Exchange server.

It appears when Microsoft's Office 365 Exchange servers find an attachment
in the email, they are adding a header:

x-microsoft-exchange-diagnostics:
1;CO1PR04MB554;5:uIPmx3dm3PK/UJjiWJfcZKKgooCYjfXMN/RlsoZaA9l50T3ppyfEZL7hV

X0mL49SuD3kM8YHnljh4K8dAvOo+bCu3


It is being added by several of his vendors (different domains).  All from
*.outlook.com servers.

The SMTP32.exe process of my IMail (v8.15) sees the data in this header
and for some reason is adding a blank line after the header.  This server
has been in production since v8.15 was current.  It has processed millions
of emails and this is the first time I've had a problem like this.

I grabbed the raw email in the D*.smd file and all looks good.  In my
email client, it looks good.  When that file is processed and forwarded to
my customer's Exchange server, it shows headers in the body of the email.
It took me quite awhile removing headers until I figured out which one it
was.  With the help of a colleague, I had IMail send the email to their
email server (non-Exchange).  He grabbed the raw email file from their end
and we saw the extra blank line that was throwing everything off.
SMTP32.EXE is inserting a blank line after this header.  While it is a
long header, it is not the longest header in the email.

I find that when I remove this header, all works fine.  So that is what I
am trying to do.

I have been working on this issue for two weeks.  It took me until tonight
to determine that SMTP32.exe was at fault.  During my research, I even
removed Declude from the chain and things still failed.  I am trying to
fix the problem with the tools I have at hand.
