mail program broken

Post by Shane »

Hi, I am trying to fix a problem with my team's mail program. It is currently putting "! " in random places in the body of the email when the body reaches a certain size... If anyone can give me input on how they fixed a similar problem, or can tell me how the error may have been caused I would be grateful.

Thank you

Hmmm, well this is a PHP-forum, not a forum for mail-programs.
PHP has a mail-function, but I am not sure whether you are referring to a mail-client (e.g. MS Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Pegasus Mail etc.) or that function.

I was referring to the function of course. It would be silly to ask a question about Outlook or something in a PHP forum, wouldn't it? Sorry if I was unclear before.... Has anyone else seen PHP print exclamation points like this?

I wrote one my self using the imap_* functions and I've never had this problems, and I also get quite large emails.

Hi,
I had the same issue and I researched lots since I have mail filters, virus filters, spam filters, etc. on the server and any of those could have caused this theoretically. I found solutions in the following links, maybe it helps you too :
