>How would the Emailer Custom Settings Patch help her? Emailer by default sends the Email ACCOUNT field as the Mail From in the mail envelope, and the Email ADDRESS field as the From address in the body of the email (the headers as you see it in an email client).
The Emailer Custom Settings Patch will cause Emailer to send the Email ADDRESS field for both places. Verizon may not be bouncing because of mismatched info. They may have other reasons to bounce it instead. I know at one point Verizon was doing challenge/response on emails before accepting them for delivery. They would hold it in a queue (or temp reject it if it was coming from another mail server), then they would contact the server the mail account claims to belong to, and attempt to send an email to that address. If the server accepted it for delivery, Verizon would OK the sending of the email on their server, if not, they would reject, or drop the email. If they are still doing this, the optonline server mail be saying that [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist, whereas [EMAIL PROTECTED] does. Verizon will attempt the former not the latter if you don't have the Emailer Custom Settings Patch installed. Or it could be yet another reason. The Emailer Custom Settings Patch will cause Emailer to behave closer to the way Outlook and other email clients behave. So if they install it, that will either fix it, or at least rule out the odd way Emailer handles the return address info. Honestly, there is really no reason for anyone to be running Emailer without the Emailer Custom Settings Patch. It doesn't do anything bad to emailer or anything unstable or even unsupported. All it does it flips a bit already in Emailer to tell it to send a different peice of info. In fact, if you have ResEdit, you don't even need the Patch. You can do it manually in Emailer. The feature is already there. Look for the eCst resource and change the 1 to a 0 in the "Use Email Address as Mail From" (first one in the recource). The Emailer Custom Settings Patch was written by the same people that wrote Emailer. All it does it drops a resource file into your Emailer Files folder. When Emailer starts, if it finds that resource file, it uses the settings in it for the eCst resource instead of using the ones in the Emailer Application. No other email client currently available sends the Account info as the Mail From. It isn't considered "correct" behaviour anymore. So anyone doing it risks being incompatible with some mail servers out there. Apple's Mac.com service will not deliver email from Emailer without that bit changed. There are others out there as well. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
