IME, it is better if the gateway stores PDF attachments on a secure web site where they can be retrieved on a per-user basis. Then it will only send to users notices including those web pointers. The rationale is that besides wrong email addresses, you'll have to cope with wrong recipients, dummy spam filters, users unwillingly deleting messages, etcetera. Thus, you'll have to provide such kind of retrieval anyway. > If this gateway provides me the full original message in the DSN, I will > be able to resend it (with outlook, I can do Actions ==> Resend).

To quote: "By default, the entire message is only included in non-delivery notices (failures)." http://www.courier-mta.org/courier.html I suspect SAP explicitly requires headers-only for the reasons you stated above. Forcing a different behavior in that case would be non-standard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
