Support:

Is the following something pagegate would add to smtp messages?

Received: from <> by abc.com ; 14 Oct 10 21:14:23 UT<13><10>X-NPSender:

I am trying to figure out how this is getting added on to the beginning of outgoing pg smtp messages. Our dispatch software vendor says they are not adding it to outgoing smtp messages going to pagegate, so I’m lost.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Harry

Can you send a copy og the logfiles? We would need SMTPin, SMTPout, getMAIL, and any of the connector logs that would have sent the message to the final destination.

I think I figured it out. The incoming smtp message to pagegate doesn't have enough of the message header for pg to process all of the header. Does this make sense? I added MIME-Version: 1 to the header and pg accepts all of it and gets processed like it should.

Well, part of the SMTP sequence is the Mail From command. This counts for both incoming and outgoing traffic. Any time any SMTP sequence happens, the Mail From command MUST be used.

Now, if you're passing messages to PageGate and your sending system is leaving the Mail From field blank, that's why you would see that line in the GetMail log.

Actually, that's the only time I can think of that would happen... PageGate HAS to populate the Mail From command, it's actually hard coded in the software, unless you leave certain fields blank... but if you left those fields blank, you'd never be able to deliver SMTP messages anyways.

You are right, there is nothing in their Mail From field. You think that's the problem? Is PG added that extra text then?

Actually, I was wondering if I could get you to clarify. What 'extra item' are you referring to?

The following is added to every message received from getmail.

Received: from <> by abc.com ; 14 Oct 10 21:14:23 UT<13><10>X-NPSender:

When I look at the raw message in the mailin folder, it has it there too.

The thing is, that's not extra text... that's a required command and a required field that has to be there.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. That text is getting added to the message going out, like the body.

PGDial1 SUCCESSFUL Stn:2 To:2817023228 Msg:Received: from <CommCenter@ccems.com> by ccems.com ; 15 Oct 10 17:11:49 UT<13><10>X-NPSender: CommCenter@ccems.com<13><10> SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE/BOMB :10/15 12:11 7111 FIVE FORKS DR, CYPRESS CREEK EMS COMM CENTER; B Map:330F Sub: Nat:74-SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE/BOMB THREAT Units:5106 X-St:POOLE RD SMOOTH ROCK FALLS DR OAKWOOD GLEN<13><10>

The actual message coming in to pagegate starts with Suspicious.

Are you delivering SMTp directly to the ouside world or through an internal mailserver? I have seen many cases where the mailserver adds extra lines (usually confidentiality verbiage) to every outgoing message

Here's the process:

1. Dispatch Server sends smtp message into getmail - All Internal
2. Pagegate processes, and these are resent to smtp addresses in the outside world.

If you would, do this for me:

1) Stop PageGate.

2) Browse into the PageGate program directory while the program is shut down.

3) Rename the pggmail.exe file to pggmail.tmp

4) Restart PageGate.

5) Send in some sample messages.

6) Copy the messages from the mailin folder somewhere else so you can send them to me.

7) Rename pggmail.exe back to normal.

I'd be really curious to see what those messages look like.
