Not getting formmail results via Exchange Server

    Hi,

    I have formmail.php set up on a site to process a short form and include an attachment (a resume). I receive my copy of the form results with the attachment just fine, but my client is not receiving his copy.

    My client uses Exchange Server, so his mailbox is not set up on our webhost, but I created a temporary box to test the form, had it forward to my email address and received those results too.

    I then sent a test email directly to the address specified in the form and they DID receive the email.

    Seems like the results are being filtered out somewhere along the line - possibly because of the attachment - however the results are not appearing in the Exchange Server spam folder.

    Any ideas would surely be appreciated.

    Try using SMTP authentication for sending emails with attachement. I'm not so sure on this one but it usually works since you're authenticating yourself and not using the IP of the server which may or may not be on blacklists.

    Decided to contact our webhost even though my client is using Exchange Server and they sent the following:

    ==============

    I have confirmed that the server is trying to deliver the emails from the form to a local mailbox called resume because it knows that nameofmyclient.com is on the same server. (not all parts of the server seem to be aware of the exchange server)

    ===============

    That make A LOT of sense as we have ruled out the most obvious problems. They are forwarding the ticket to their "email expert" and I hope to hear more soon.

    Thanks for your suggestion!
