It is possible, that the @216.126.27.237 is actually coming an invalid SETUP.
May be there is a configuration screen or a setup option for whichever mailer he is using (I wish we could see the entire header with the X-Mailer statement) - and someone entered 216.126.27.237 as the "host name" instaed of using "[216.126.127.237]" or instead of specifying the true FQDN of the host. Neither CDO/NTS or BLAT have any problems that I'm aware off. But they are NOT immune against the very basic data procressing rule of "garbage in - garbage out". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of R.

How would i fix it. You need to update the software that sends the E-mail (blat? CDONTS?). If the latest version doesn't include a Message-ID: header, you may need to put pressure on the developers (even if you whitelist the E-mail at your server, it still may get tagged as spam on the recipient's computer). >Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<<<<<<< isn't this a >message id header you talked about ???????? Yes, it is. However, it is not valid -- "216.127.27.237" isn't a valid host name; it should be in the format "...@[216.126.27.237]". Most likely, the machine said "HELO 216.127.27.237" (which is likely illegal, but I don't know for sure), and then did not supply a Message-ID:. IMail then (knowing how important the Message-ID: header is) added one, assuming that the HELO name was a valid host name. IMail certainly gets an "A for effort", but it still wasn't able to fix the mess from the remote machine. -Scott --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
