I've got a user who has an alias on a no processing list. She reported that for the last couple of days she's received poorly formatted mail. I looked into what she's complaining about.
It turns out that all of the messages, at least the ones that I saw are from the same external server. The file in the okmail corpus has all of the normal X-ASSP headers followed by this strange line (details obscured) Received: from ext-abbmail.hnnet.xx.org. parkland-mail3.hnnet.xx.org ([1xx.x.45.20] helo=parkland-mail3.hnnoc.xx.org) by assp.ourcharity.org.... that's 3 seaprate lines, the first of which ends in .org. (with the period) I did a reverse lookup of the IP address, and I get ext-abbmail.hnnet.xx.org without the ending period as I'd expect. The helo of parkland-mail3.hnnoc.xx.org is assigned the same A record in DNS. I believe the display problem is caused by Outlook not knowing what to do with a header line that starts "parkland" so it just assumes that it's the end of the header and starts showing the message. That makes the rest of the html formatted message get all buggered up too since it's no longer a valid html document. I don't know what could be causing this problem. Why are the 2 hostnames in the from line. Why does one end in a period? How did the return get in there? Could the return be some kind of word wrapping thing? Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list Assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test
