Hi Folks,

Just re-sending this, since (a) I had some list subscription troubles when I first sent it, and might have missed a reply, and (b) I can't see any replies, and it seems like a simple enough question.

If I need to provide more background info or anything, someone please let me know... I humbly apologise if my questions is a dumb one.

My courier server keeps rejecting mail with a message like the following:

<<< 550-This message contains improperly-formatted binary content.
<<< 550-This is often used by viruses that attempt to infect remote systems.
<<< 550-Your mail software may also have a bug that results in this error.
<<< 550 Invalid content rejected, see

554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

I have created a file called bofh in the /etc/courier directory with the
following line in it:

opt BOFHBADMIME=accept

...and restarted the server repeatedly, but it keeps rejecting messages in this same way.

My courier build is v 0.52.1, and my authlib is 0.57. Operating system
is Solaris 9 on Sparc.

Where are your other Courier configuration files kept? Also in /etc/courier?

Seems rather unlikely. The default location of Courier's configuration files is /usr/lib/courier/etc, which is where you must create your bofh file.

"/etc/courier" is the default location of Courier's configuration files on Fedora/Red Hat/and other related Linux platforms.
