What you see is just about normal these days. Right, that's what I side... the email header, not email body. Everything in your header that begins with an "X-" is part the anti-spam software running on the server at receiving end, and can that vary as I mentioned before for a hundred different reason. Everything above that is usually the minimum info attached to an email in its' header. Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - Squidbait - 04-29-2010 Shaun, One of us isn't catching what the other's pitching. All the stuff that we (Me and the Doc, anyways) are quoting in here is in the message body. Here is the header from the notification for your post: Quote:Return-Path: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:www-data@choochoo.the-gauge.net">www-data@choochoo.the-gauge.net</a><!-- e --> Here is the full body text of the message: Quote: =?UTF-8?B?biBleHRlbnNpdmUgImhlYWRlciIgaW5mbyI=?= This is unique to The-Gauge, as I subscribe to over a dozen different forums that use the same software as The-Gauge, and these are the only emails that contain this info. The rest all start with "Dear Squidbait" and go on from there. If my mail server were adding that text to the message body, wouldn't it do it to all these types of posts? Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - nolatron - 04-29-2010 I get it now. Sorry! Yeah, odd that the header info is getting dumped into the body like that. I know that the spam score is calculated on the receiving server and dumped into the header of the email (you can see the two different software apps used in the above examples). So that makes it even more strange considering the spam info your mail server is writing to the header is getting dumped into the body. I've never seen that happen before. Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - ngauger - 04-29-2010 I think Pat was working on this a while ago.. I don't think he could fix it... But I'll send him the link just to see if he ever found anything..... Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - path - 04-29-2010 Yea, I think someone brought it up awhile back. I never saw what was causing it to occur and it wasn't happening to any of the mail programs I have (Thunderbird and Mail.app on the Mac). What mail programs are you guys using? Basically, the deal with emails is they are just plain text files. All of the headers are at the top of the file. Then there is a blank line and the message body follows the blank line. But you guys are posting complete headers.. not even a partial thing as if a blank line is getting inserted in there. This is one of those weird things to try and figure out when I can't see it on my end to play with the messages. If you could get the raw message format, that might be useful to see if something is getting inserted on the way. In Thunderbird, you hit CTRL-U. Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - Squidbait - 04-29-2010 Pat, Here's the source dump from my last notification. I hope you can do something with it. Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - path - 04-30-2010 Ok.. I made a slight change. Can someone post a reply to test? Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - Squidbait - 04-30-2010 Woohoo! No headers in the body of the text! Excellent! Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - path - 04-30-2010 That is so weird. I think that bug has been around for a very long time. They haven't fixed it. People just work around it. It has to do with the smtp server setting in the forum software. Why it only effects some users is even more bizarre.

No problems in the past here using T'Bird...but it sounds like whatever you did worked.. Re: Email notification extensive "header" info - ngauger - 04-30-2010 NICE!!!!! Everything before 3 I received.. has the header.... All the e-mails I received after 3 are great!! No header stuff Cool!!! Thanks!! |
