Hi, I've been using Courier (smtp & imap w/mysql) for a few months now, and I really don't mind that it is very strict when it comes to RFCs. However, I host mail for a few friends and family members, who really dislike not being able to receive mail from e.g. hotmail. Especially, when they receive an email with a binary attachment such as an image (it's rather difficult to see the image when it becomes a simple plain text attachment ;).
To get around this, I simply took the source code (0.38.1) and grep'ed for "dorewrite", and I changes all (about a handful) "dorewrite=1" to "dorewrite=0". I actually know nothing about c/c++ code, so it may infact break things. However, it seems to work for me. Receiving wacky-formatted emails is now possible (at least I haven't noticed anything bad happening yet). I know it is not the right thing to do, but I have really tried to make friends and familiy understand that it is an issue with bad email clients and not "my" mail server. But, you know, they just want to be able to receive email from anywhere no matter how broken a sender's email client may be. Like other Courier users I'd really appreciate if this thing gets implemented as a compile-time option, but on the other hand, I can understand why Sam and the other developers won't implement it. Broken email clients should really be fixed instead. Regards, Frederik Dannemare _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
