I'm looking over the docs now to see the actual names of the headers but I'll be
using something like this:
<CFSET response="">
<CFIF Not IsDefined('date_header') or Not Len(date_header)>
<CFSET response=ListAppend(response, 'No date defined for email.')>
</CFIF>
<CFIF Not IsDefined('from_header') or Not Len(from_header)>
<CFSET response=ListAppend(response, 'No from address defined for email.')>
</CFIF>
...
<CFIF Len(response)>
result=abort
<CFOUTPUT>customresponse="554 #response#"</CFOUTPUT>
</CFIF>
This will report all of the bad headers and reject the entire message. Do you
think it would be better to gather them all or reject after the first bad one?
I'm thinking of what would be the most legal looking.
You can't do any of this prior to the DATA template as the mail has not been
received until that point. What you can do is something like:
Pseudo-code
if date header does not exist
{
result=abort
customresponse="554 Properly formatted mail requires a DATE header"
}
