Stituation in users receiving mail

[Luis Silva]

Hi Jules,

I think that you are right.
In the conf I had %org-name% = myname, replace issues... the conf.orig is
%org-name% = yoursite, didn't read with the reading glasses...
Now is %org-name%=myname
  
I will restart the service and check this out.

Many thanks!
Luis Silva

Make sure you haven't got any spaces in the setting of %org-name% in
your MailScanner.conf file. The docs there clearly state that you aren't
allowed any spaces.

I suspect there is a space in a header name, with the result it is
treating that as the start of the body and so the following headers are
being shown in the body of the message in your users' email applications.

Jules.
