Re: Invalid Header problems
Google is your friend. Notice that a Message-ID header exists but has no string after the label: Jul 28 09:45:10 boom3 postfix/cleanup[6921]: B9A7225C001: message-id= See http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2005-02/1410.html Joseph Brennan Lead Email Systems Engineer Columbia University Information Technology Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Now that you have it, make sure they get the idea that they should deep-fry whomever is responsible for the broken empty-message-id generating "crapplication". -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Plus IMAP clients will use the Message-ID as the 'key' for finding a message. It's funny your posting this because we just had a customer have an issue with that... Please point me to some RFC or documentation. I need to present to the higher-UPS a decent explanation on why this message took 6 hours to get delivered.

Why would single line called Message-ID: cause lmtpd message header errors? Because it's invalid syntax according to the RFCs. A header name must be followed by a value, otherwise it cannot be present. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
