Qmail has a specific issue with CF formed messages. All versions up through 4.5.x did not obey the SMTP formatting RFP and left "bare linefeeds" in the message body. Qmail is VERY picky about the formatting of mail is receives and will not accept these messages.
I made sure that the bare LF problem got fixed in CF5 during beta (it wasn't easy). The easiest fix is to upgrade to CF 5.0. You can also re-configure Qmail to accept such mail, but good luck getting your ISP to do this. Lastly, I wrote a custom tag called CF_ResendUndeliverableMail3 (based on Rob Brooks-Bilson's v2) that will re-queue those failed messages and among other things, *should* strip out the bare linefeeds and allow Qmail to accept them, though I started using CF5 shortly after I wrote the tag and never fully tested that functionality... The tag's in the gallery... -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.7277.232 f.770.460.0963 > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 3:30 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Anyone using CFMail with Qmail remotely? > > > Originally we were setup to run some of our customer billing and > mailing of > receipts from the same host server as our Web site.
