[ic] MIME/REJECT: Invalid structure in sent emails

Tue Jun 10 12:31:01 2003

Running 4.9.7 daily

For the first time since I have been using interchange for my store I
have been testing not on the same box as my production machine. Order
emails have never went passed the local mailer. I have now run into a
problem with our system as well as one other that check for valid data
in an email as to decide if it is a possible virus or not. I have only
seen bounces of this nature from spam mail myself.

	Hi. This is the qmail-send program at router.linuxhardcore.com.

Could someone tell me why this does occur noting the many people that
work on IC use RFC's when designing any part of IC why this would be a
problem. I know that my mail server is very strict about structure of an
email.

In attempting to send this file to any client as well it is not seen as
an attachment. After hundreds of different configurations I have come to
the conclusions that IC does not seem to create proper mime mail.

Even the default not touched or modified email message from the demo
store is bounced back and I never before thought about it, the gpg 
attachments are not seen as attachments.

If someone else can verify I will put this up as a bug. I am almost
certain that the use of the following is correct and that op=mime tag or
the mime tag do not follow standards.

[code]
#===============#

[seti atrex_info]
Attached is the data for ATREX import for order #[value mv_order_number]
Please download to where the Generic Order importer for ATREX is
installed.

The filename is ATXORDER.TXT

If there are multiple orders you may copy them all into the same file
before
doing your import to speed up the process.
