Just as a note for others who might run across this problem:
I just had a call from a client who had trouble setting up an email account
with us using Outlook. He entered the account information into Outlook and
then tried the available function to test an account. He always got a
cryptic error message (something like "check the mail address").
I tracked down the problem and found that this wunderful piece of shit from
Redmond called Outlook does not set a Date: Header in the mail which is
generated for testing. Therefore check_basicheaders denied the mail which
in turn led to the error message described.
I checked a little bit more into the situation to see if i can find a way
to identify such test mails and excempt them from the test, but could not
find a criteria which would be secure enough.
Regards
Michael
