Hey all, I got a Q for y'all, and forgive me if this has been covered a zillion times already.
Our CEO uses Mac OS9 and OE 5.x (the latest, the version # escapes me ATM) for Mac. It seems to choke on a regular basis when getting mail from our server, a FreeBSD box running postfix/courier. We analyzed the message, and it turns out that the sending message's ID (from the SMTP server) has a start '<' but not and end '>' with a few characters in between. So a typical ID message would be <s]20 and no more characters instead of the long (16 or so) sting of characters all the other messages have. OE chokes on this and sends back a Quit command and hangs up the queue on the client computer. The only fix for this seems to be to go into the queue manually at the server and delete the message. My Q is this: Is there a way I can fix this at the server? That is, make some kind of filter for this offending message ID, or perhaps change server software versions, where it can see this and deal with it on it's own? I s'pose I could get my CEO off OE and onto Eudora or whatever, but he's a total retro grouch, and getting him to change software is difficult at best. Any ideas. Again, sorry for the newbie question, but hey, I'm a newbie at this. -erich ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
