I've installed Threads 7.1 on Windows 2003 with IIS 6. The site is not live yet, but I have been testing before final import of Classic data.

Emails fail to deliver to email servers using qmail. Using the information in the server events log, I found the following post which describes a possible cause.
Bare Linefeeds in SMTP

Does anyone know where I can find the code that generates emails to verify no bare linefeeds are being sent?

I tried searching these forums and couldn't find any related posts.

Thanks,
Jim Quinn

I think this is it:

Try:
Replace the bare \n's with \r\n

In:
Control Panel » Languages » Language Editor » adduser.php

PASS_BODY
NEWREGBODY

Unfortunately I cannot search for \n as it's too short. If I find more I'll amend this post.

Thanks jgeoff!

I did find raw line feeds in some of the language text. I also found raw line feeds in the ubbthreads.inc.php where it adds a signiture to every email. I commented out the signature and am still having the same problem, so I will keep looking.

I set the IIS Default SMTP Service log file options to show more detial and have confirmed that the destination email server is still rejecting email due to \n.

I'll post an update if I find a solution.

Update:

First of all, our server has Threads version 7.0.2 intsalled, I was mistaken in my first post.

After clearing the SMTP cache, I was able to use the UBB.Classic software to generate emails and successfully deliver to qmail servers. I still can't get the Threads forum to deliver for qmail servers only.

If anyone else is experiencing this problem with Threads 7.0.2 on Win 2003 IIS6, please let me know. It's possible that others are having this problem and don't even realize it. One would have to look through SMTP logs to even know that there is a problem, unless they are contacted by a registrant who didn't recieve their registration email.

I've been working on a problem discovered after installing 7.0.2 on a Windows 2003 server. I posted in the "General Assistance" forum:
Initial Post

I can email from the server to qmail servers, and UBB.Classic is also successful, the threads version produces emails that are rejected by qmail servers due to raw linefeeds. I've tried finding any instances of '\n' in the language files and also in other files replacing each instance with '\r\n', still no luck.

Why use qmail? Windows Server 2003 has it's own SMTP.

I have merged your two threads Jim, since they're both for the same issue.

ntdoc,

We are using the Windows 2003 SMTP. The problem only occurs when threads sends an email to users hosted on a qmail server.

Gizmo,

Thanks for the merge and sorry for posting in the bug forum. If you know of anyone running 7.0.2 on Win 2003 and IIS 6 successfully, please let me know.

Thanks

I believe NT uses 2003, not sure of any others offhand... at least that come forward for my windows vs linux arguements ;)...

I've not heard of this issue before so I'm nto entirely sure what to say...
