Topic: 552 mail with no date header not accepted here - 7.0 pre1

[mark]

A clients Accounting program emails remittance advices and generates this error with 7.0 pre1 - it was previously OK with 6.0.  

Any way I can do a quick fix? - I cannot change the accounting system settings.

I know I shouldnt be using 7 in a production environment but their old server died and the new server is SATA. Other than this 7.0 works brilliantly.

many thanks

Mark

The accounting software is broken. Date headers have always been mandatory for SMTP email.

As a workaround, log in as root, then do:

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/plugins/
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/plugins/
touch 17check_basicheaders
signal-event email-update

I had to modify this to work on 7.1 boxes as follows:

mkdir -p /etc/esmith/templatescustom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local/17check_basicheaders

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/0
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/0/17check_basicheaders

signal-event email-update

hope this helps someone

cheers
