I am sending email using asp.net and it is working fine. But when an email gets failure to deliver then the failure email which i get becomes unformatted.
the email contents are in html format and attached .doc files.
i am smtp for sending emails.
i think that, this is not because of code i am using to send email so i am not putting sending code here.
Please suggest me what should i check.
Thanks
Mail failure of mail sending is because of your smtp configuration or by data transportation blockage. and this will read your attachment as byte[] so its only the reason to make sure that your smtp configuration is well working...

How I can get the attachment from a mail in WSO2 ? I able to get the subject and body of the mail. I need to fetch an attachment file in the mail. How it could be done ? I'm using Gmail POP3 server.
There is nothing specific whether the mail is from some WSO2 server or not. If you have attachments, that implies the mail uses multipart/form. Therefore you can process it as a multipart/form message. There are a lot of libraries that you can use to do the parsing. e.g. Apache Commons, Javamail or you can use normal java URL connection and carefully work with the mime boundaries.
We used to parse the whole message body looking for boundries of attachments, then apply Base64Decode to substracted pieces, then operate with them like binaries.
Sorry, I do not have that synapse-config right now, can not tell you exactly what to do.
I have asp.net webservice package built by previous developer now has stopped working. It still posts the request to remote server but in return it is supposed to send confirmation back to our server which it fails.
I check the script header and it appropriately assigned the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings code block to (ConfirmationEmail) parameter available in app.config file.
But on receiving end we don't see the confirmation email.
Can you help me whats going on here.
On the receiving end, we are not seeing email address that we passed through X-Vendor-Email
Shouldn't the custom header be added to headers instead of part of the content type?
ie.
oWeb.Headers.Add("X-Vendor-Email", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ConfirmationEmail"));
I want to forward all mail for root (so basically the output of all cron jobs but other mails for root as well) to an external email address (hotmail).
Easiest method would be to use the aliases file. I updated the root alias:
root: mymail#hotmail.com
And ran newaliases.
When an email is sent I see that the hotmail MX server "accepts" my mail. Standard MS Security through obscurity makes me think it's silently discarding my email ( not in junk mail, ... ).
This server is used to send/receive mail for a domain (and more domains in the future).
I've checked the logs and it seems the mail is sent with from field of : root#mail.domain.com
I'm pretty sure this is at the root of my mail never received in my hotmail.
The existing email addresses are using user#domain.com as from.
Now I would like to rewrite this (mail) from address/ctladdr.
I thought this would be an easy fix with genericstable.
Genericstable (had multiple tries):
root info#domain.com
root#localhost info#domain.com
root#mail.domain.com info#domain.com
Regenerated the db with makemap.
I tried with different settings.
I also removed the EXPOSED_USER root (from the generic m4 file). I can see it's not in the generated cf file.
I also added root to the trusted users.
In my m4 file:
FEATURE(genericstable)dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN(domain.com)dnl
dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN(mail.domain.com)dnl
dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
dnl define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `localhost')dnl
I have a submit mc file as well. Not sure if this matters but I don't think so.
(I don't have sendmail in MSP mode running as far as I know).
I've tried with GENERICS_DOMAIN as the domain that I want it to be or the domain that I want to be rewritten.
make all install
and restarted sendmail.
Still it just seems to go out as root#mail.domain.com
I tried with sendmail in address test mode (bt; tryflags hs and try esmtp root). This correctly modifies to the wanted source address: info#domain.com.
Anyone has some other ideas why this is not working? Or more debugging ways?
Do I need local_relay to make this work? What's expected to be in the hosts file? Fqdn(mail.domain.com) and hostname(so mail) for 127.0.0.1 ?
EDIT: I probably should mention that I have an incoming queue for MailScanner.
Thanks a lot in advance!
I believe the source of my issue is that I was expecting all mailserver mentioned in the headers to have the mail.example.com removed.
However the first header is to submit it to the local queue.
And only when Sendmail is sending the mail out (connecting to the outside MX of example.com) the translation gets done.
So the servers mentioned in the headers stay with mail.example.com.
I thought the mail.example.com was the culprit in hotmail not delivering my email. Which seemed to be wrong.
After investigating for a long time I noticed that if I sent an email from info#example.com to hotmail it was nowhere shown(no, not even in spam, ...) while it was accepted.
If I sent an email first to info#example.com and then sent one back from info#example.com the mail gets successfully delivered in the hotmail mailbox.
This also seems to be the case with other users of the same example.com domain (so not solely with info#).
After some more investigating I noticed: html email seems to be more easily delivered(sent through squirrelmail). Plain text only mails seem to be ignored.
NOTE: in all cases my mail was accepted by the hotmail mailserver. So no error code 550 or something. I was always sending mail from the mail.example.com server (either command line or through Squirrelmail).
EDIT: I had yet another annoying encounter with Hotmail. Again my message is accepted and just disappears. I've been sending to this destination address before without any issues. But for some reason all of a sudden Hotmail mailservers get "improved".
I'd like to throw in this reference of a topic that got opened years ago which is still ongoing with no feedback from MS: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-osend/messages-reported-as-250-queued-for-delivery-but/f451cda5-ba7d-45ff-b643-501efe2413dc?page=2 . So you're definitely not alone. But also understand that there can be multiple issues leading to the same symptoms.
So I'd like to add some steps which might help preventing a massive headache for others:
Use a footer that clearly states your company and domain.
Use HTML mail
For some reasons sometimes I see mails getting delivered directly in the Deleted folder. Not in Spam
For some reason sending more mails from your domain is better as you gain more "reputation"
You can open a case with Microsoft here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/getsupport?oaspworkflow=start_1.0.0.0&wfname=capsub&productkey=edfsmsbl3&locale=en-us&ccsid=635754176123391261
Don't set your expectations high. They'll mainly send you an email back that you're not eligible for remediation and later on answer on your case with a standard answer. HOWEVER what creating this case does do is probably getting confirmation that your email got indeed "filtered" by the mighty SmartScreen (they will not tell you why). But this way at least you know it's the spam filter and the below points might help you out.
Make sure to pass the message ID, timestamp, ... (log entry from maillog is what I did)
The answer on your case will certainly mention to use SNDS(Smart Network Data Service) and JMRP (Junk Mail Reporting Program)
SNDS: I've subscribed and never seen anything listed here. So if you have low email volume don't expect anything to show up here
JMRP: this is a service that will send you an email when a message gets marked as spam by users. I've never got anything useful out of this either.
make sure that your DNS settings are correct (MX record, A record, PTR record). This was all correct for me and nobody could point out a flaw in my configuration.
if you open a case they'll also send you a link to "Improving E-mail Deliverability into Windows Live Hotmail". You can find this on google as well and it might give some pointers.
if you're clearly sending an email campaign add in an Opt-out link (which again was not the case for me)
even if the destination address has your email address whitelisted your mail might be silently discarded. This goes beyond all logic.
having them send an email and reply might get your email delivered as well although it looks clumsy to go ask to send you an email so you can actually use email.
Basically the filter tries to "intelligently" determine what's normal mail behavior and based on that will take actions. So there's a big chance you can get your mail delivered by improving the content of your mails.
All in all I can only recommend to not use hotmail. Not for yourself or for your customers if you're a business. Unless you always want to be doubting if the other side actually received the mail. Sometimes you might be able to call, but if this is a lead through your site and they never get your response that's lost business. Of course it's the user's choice but if you can, try to convince them to use another mail account they have as none of the other providers just silently deletes mails (or at least I've never seen it).
I hope this helps someone else.
I have recently setup forgot password functionality on my site using the stock symfony2 implementation.
Problem is my reset password email gets sent to my junk folder.
What causes this? Is it the content of the email itself?
Here it is:
Hello myemail#hotmail.com!
To reset your password - please visit http://application.mysite.com/resetting/reset/yLbv6BLD6ItSlmXSl4tFI7la78Es5UnS1GqvJnN_5uR
Regards,
the Team.
Could it be something in my settings?
There is a lot of possibilities that can cause this problem.
It's most often coming from the server (e-mail) configuration.
Look at the "original message" (with headers) to see if there is no explicit problem, but it's very difficult to debug.
Look at your email configuration (postfix local ? gmail ?), search for working examples and hopes you find the problem, especially if it's your production server.
Good luck
There can be lot of reasons:
you send emails from shared IP segment
to low ammount of text in your message
spammy look sender email address (for example "noreply#...")
subject of message
url thas point somwhere to testing environment (for example 127.0.0.1)
Try to change these, and experiment...
I need to send a pdf file received from SFTP with an email as an attachment. I am just looking if this can be done without using custom pipeline component. Can this be done only with SMTP send port configuration. How can this be approached
In your orchestration your Out message must be modified like below. You must give your file list with pipe delimited list.
MessageOut(SMTP.Attachments) = "C:\\temp\atachment1.pdf|C:\\temp\atachment2.pdf";
