Is there an error message by chance?

I'm running UBBT 7.02 on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with IIS 6, PHP 5.20 and MySQL 5.027 and we send mail just fine.



If you can send mail to all EXCEPT Qmail then I'd say it's an issue for users on Qmail, not UBB or MS Server 2003

It might be possible to find an issue in how the mail is sent but sure sounds weird to me that as a recepient that mail would bounce or not come to me due to a line feed in the mail.

.

thats what i was thinking; but then I took to thought that i think he said hotmail users are rejected?

Gizmo,

Thanks for the info. I registered in NT's forum with an address served by qmail. I haven't received a verification email yet, but he might have the registration queue enabled. I will check back later to see if it goes through.

BTW: I would prefer linux for the forums or anything PHP, but it's not always an option when working for customers who have everything else on Windows.

Thanks

ntdoc,

It is an issue only for qmail hosted email accounts, but the forums I am working for are international and large. The email address I used to register in your forums is hosted by godaddy, secureserver.net handles email for a large number of sites. Unfortunatley, it appears that qmail is the only email service that is currently enforcing 822bis section 2.3. From my research, it seems that this qmail standard is very old, and hasn't been an issue with IIS 5, but IIS 6 doesn't convert the \n into \r\n.

I hope you don't mind me using your forums to test my theory. If my suspiciouns are correct, you will find my registration email stuck in your SMTP queue (Inetpub/mailroot/Queue, or recieve a failed delivery notification depending on your server setup.

Thanks

I haven't recieved any emails from NT's forum, so it looks like my theory is correct.

From the SMTP log file (I changed the sender and to: addresses to post here):

If you go to the pobox.com link it is clear that Threads is sending out bare linefeeds.

What name and time did you register with ?

There are a lot of undelivered messages but most of the ones I tried fail when sent from any mail provider.

.

I have 3 mail delivery failures in the past 4 days. All of them are to some accounts in France.

I currently have 3 retries (for France in the que) Nothing from or to you as a failure that I see.

I registered with jquinn. Thanks for checking ntdoc.

Are you sure some spam filter didn't block it or delete it?
