The Q files tells SMTP how operate and contains information about the
message. It has the format of a single character line descriptor followed
by the data in the line. The following lines are required:
This is the "Q" file format:
QD:\IMail\spool\D0b63aa8048c.GSC
Hmart005.augusta.ipswitch.com
S<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
R<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
R<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
R<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Q - Required - The location of the message file (full path\filename).
H - Required - Host (this must be an IMail host).
T - Optional - Number of delivery attempts - STMP32 will create this line
E - Not required - Envelope ID from STMPD32 (ENVID parameter)
S - Required - Sender (fully qualified address)
V - Not required - virus scan flag. Set to 0 for not scanned, 1 for
scanned. This is set by STMP32.
N - Not required - Original recipient, this goes into the message as an
X-RCPT-TO header.
R - Required - Recipient (fully qualified address). There can be multiple
recipients. For each recipient SMTPD32 creates a pair of N and R entries.
The N entry should come before the R entry.
A - Not required - Starting in 7.14 this is the Authorized user that sent
the email. This will come from STMPD32 if the user authed, or from IMail1
when using imail1 to send emails (from IWebMsg or command line).
Z - Not required - This is the same as an R line, except this recipient will
not be checked against any rules as the Z signifies that this recipient was
created as a result of a rule.
L - Not required - This is the list owner when the list is the sender
