[courier-users] Weird error message

[James Covington]

Below is an error message which was sent by my installation of Courier, to one of the recipients of a message I sent Sunday.  The message I sent was nothing more than 2 lines of text, and attached text-based .dat file.  The attachment is a compilation of the precipitation reports in my area, for the National Weather Service.  I have sent the same message, simply changing the dates, several times, yet Sunday's yields an error?

The recipients already received the original message and attachment, the server sent this out almost 48 hours after the message had already been delivered.  Why would this be sent to the recipient, and not the sender?

I'm using Courier 0.37.2 on RH 7.1.

                              CORRUPTED MESSAGE

This is the Courier Mail Server 0.37 on mail.spamwhack.com.

I received the following message for delivery to your address.
Unfortunately,
the sender's mail software did not properly format the following message
according to Internet mail formatting protocols, and I can only deliver mail
which has been properly formatted according to Internet standards.  Instead
of returning the following message as undeliverable, it is saved, in its
original form, in the following attachment, which you can open with any
editor or word processor.

Please notify the original sender that their message was not properly
formatted by their mail software.  The specific mail protocol error in the
original message is as follows:

The MIME boundary delimiter strings in the following message are ambiguous,
and cannot be parsed.
