Message format with the word QUIT at the top.

[sunnybeach]

I am testing out MaxBulk Mailer and trying to send one email to myself. I am using text based formatting and sending through Dreamhost.

The connection appears to work and settings are as follows.

The message body that comes through to me looks like the following. I am not sure why the word QUIT is at the top or why header information shows up in the body area.

====

QUIT
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0
From: Sunny Beach <[email protected]>
To: Sunny Beach <[email protected]>
Subject: test with subject
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:15:47 -0400
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

text in the message

Really weird. Perhaps it is your server that has a problem. I have tried here and I never get the word 'QUIT' on top of the headers. By the way, which version of MaxBulk Mailer are you using?

 

[sunnybeach]

The version is 6.6-US and is running on a Mac with OS X (10.5.7). I will do some more tests this morning and post any updates.

Below is a full log from an attempt today. I tried to send two emails, one failed and the other one has the header like information at the top of the email body.

Your server has a problem, look at the log:

[01] 6/29 08:09:52 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
[01] 6/29 08:09:53 250 Ok: queued as BE1E91614D2
[01] 6/29 08:11:33 421 spaceymail-a4.g.dreamhost.com Error: timeout exceeded

It asks you to send the message, the message is sent and accepted for delivery then the server send a time-out error.
