  • Problem with incoming email

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to All on Sun Apr 30 20:56:06 2017
    I am trying to port a one-way mail list into a message area on my bbs. The messages come in this format:

    This is a multi-part message in MIME format...

    ------------=_1493582579-1910-5663

    [msg text, in TEXT, here!]

    ------------=_1493582579-1910-5663
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
    Content-Disposition: inline
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT

    = = =
    [list info, also in TEXT, here!]
    ------------=_1493582579-1910-5663--

    The only thing that SBBS imports is the "list info" section. It ignores
    the msg text. I have the options set to text only at the list host, so
    that is not the problem. I poked around in some of the .js files and
    various SCFG settings and didn't see anything I thought would cause it to ignore that section. Is there a place I can tell the mail server to accept these messages?

    IREX seems to handle them, but I am trying to migrate away from it. Thanks!

    I suspect that the entire message text is imported but the BBS is only *showing* you one of the MIME sections. Try turning on Raw I/O mode (hit Ctrl-Z) and read the message(s) again and see if you then see all the MIME headers and such. If so, then the SMB/MIME decoding feature is at fault.

    Let me know and I'll see if I can easily add multiple-MIME section support to the SMB library.

    Yes, that was it! It was only doing that on the web interface, and I did figure out how to turn that off. On the telnet side, it was displaying
    just fine. Thanks!
