When we send email through chili!mail the email is identified as SPAM by most of our clientservers, because of a non-RFC822 compliant date. Spamfilter reports DATE_SPAMWARE_Y2K 4.20.
Year 2005 is represented as 05. Any other mail send through our mailserver (sendmail, phpmail) is formatted correctly as 2005.
We are running at Chili!soft version 3.6.2
Does anyone has a solution for this problem ?
We have got only one mailserver. Using sendmail for this.
The PHP mail command might even send through sendmail I think.
But the date format is anyway correct, sendmail configuration is ok.
I cannot tell if chilisoft asp is using sendmail of php's mail command.
But a php script is working ok, just sending any mail through sendmail is ok (ok is rfc-822 compliant), but only chili!mail is not Y2K compliant. I read somewhere on this forum that chili!mail does not provide a date for the mail header. This is being done by the mail server. But in that case, I would like to know which mailserver (if not sendmail) is being used.

Hi,
As far as I know it simply talks to the smtp server to send an email, either the one on the server where asp is installed (localhost) or if you specify it as an option when calling chillimail the mail server specified.
If its talking to the smtp server then there is no way of specifying a date this is simply done by the mail server (you could check the smtp rfc but I'm pretty sure there is no such command).
I guess you could write a small test asp script that just sends an email and then stop sendmail for a short while to see if it then errors to prove which mail server it is talking too.
