It has a very high probability of being marked as spam, whatever headers you use, because it’ll be delivered direct to the recipient’s mail server, most likely from a consumer ISP-owned IP range. Further, if you aren’t careful about the From: address, it’ll fall foul of SPF, DKIM and other similar rules intended to prevent spam. It’s best either to (a) send via the customer’s own e-mail account, which is tricky to configure and means you will need support for TLS (some mail servers only accept outbound e-mail over authenticated TLS connections), or (b) use a web server under your control to actually send the e-mail, and have the software make an HTTP POST to trigger it Kind regards, Alastair. -- http://alastairs-place.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
