Yeah. So? What does the message look like in its original form then?

MUA is Mail User Agent. The crap you're sending your messages with is
an MUA. Got it? And if no appropriate help is available for Outlook,
complain to the wankers in Redmond who *SOLD* you this shit. This is a
technical list for a Unix MTA, ok?

Oh yeah... Apart from the fact that I don't speak Portuñol (or even
intend to learn it), this is crap, too:

MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Please learn to speak SMTP -- you're not sending any To or From headers,
just envelope-from and envelope-to. A proper conversation reads a little
like this, for your side of it:

HELO example.com
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
DATA
From: Joe Blow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Jim Blow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Testing my SMTP

This is a test.

.



That will do what you're expecting.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt

really.

If you don't have From:, To:, Subject: and Date: Headers between 
DATA
and
.
no MUA will show them.

A senseful telnet session to an MTA looks like

telnet [mtaip] 25
<220 [mtahost] ESMTP
>EHLO [hostname]
<250 [host]
<250 [multiple feature lines]
>MAIL FROM: [envelope sender]
<250 ok
>RCPT TO: [recipient]
<250 ok
>DATA
<354 go ahead
From: Name 
To: Name 
Subject: a senseful subject
Date: a correct datestring

The text appearing in the body
.

<250 ok [ts] qp [inode]
>QUIT

RES: Message without Subject and From!!!

2001-08-01 Thread Daniel Abad

Ok, I telnet at 25 and compose a message, with mail from: , rcpt to: anda
data (.) . 

When I received this from my Outlook or Webmail, the message is empty! Only
the time appears! 

Tks.

Compose your message differently.  The "From:" and "Subject:" fields in
the message header are completely optional.

This isn't a qmail issue.  See the documentation for your MUA for
further details.
