Hi Support,

I'm sending mail into getmail from our dispatch software, then out a connector as an email. The messages going into getmail begin with the date. When the same message text is sent out the connector, the first character is stripped out.

Here is the log out of our dispatch software...note it begins with date of 12/30.

Here is the connector log of the same message going back out...

Check out PageGate's GetMail SMTP Incoming log. It will show what is being accepted into PageGate. Is the first character missing there too?

It doesn't show the actual message...just that it was accepted.

You are right. Sorry about that.

Let's give this a try instead:

In PG Admin go to Database->Tools->Export->Messages

That will write a text file with the messages from the database. It will help determine if the full message is being accepted in or not.

Ok, I exported. Here is an example of one from yesterday. Is this what you were looking for?

Yes.

The fourth field in the export text file is the message text. Is the first letter of the messages missing from them?

Looks like it, but I don't understand the format. Where the date should be 12/29 it has 2\04729.

Yes, it looks like the first character is missing there too.

The "\047" represents a single backslash character, so the 2\04729 is really 2/29

Next, I would like you to follow some steps to capture a raw email file from an incoming message. The following steps should be taken with PageGate running. These steps will pause the incoming messages (none will be lost), so maybe it shouldn't be run during a busy time of day. You can find the folder locations specified in the steps below by going to Program->Settings in PG Admin.

1. Follow these steps while PageGate is running
2. In PG Admin go to Interfaces, right-click on GetMail and choose Stop
3. Using the Windows file explorer look in the PageGate program folder for the file named PGGMail.exe. Rename the file to PGGMail.exe.disabled
4. In PG Admin go to Interfaces, right-click on GetMail and choose Start
5. Send in a test message of the type that normally has the problem.
6. Look in the PageGate database directory for a folder named MailIn. There should be a new message file in there. Post the contents, or email the contents to support at notepage dot com.
7. Rename the PGGMail.exe.disabled file back to PGGMail.exe. This will make PageGate fully operational again.
8. Done

Thank you for that file. The full message is in the mail file, so PageGate's GetMail process must be the problem.

Can you go into the PageGate program folder and find the file named PGGMail.exe. Right-click on the file and choose Properties. What is the version of that file?

Upgrading is always a good idea. :)

I believe we have found the problem, and would like you to try a fix.

Steps:

1. Download this file and save it to a temporary location on your computer:
http://www.notepage.net/download/dev/pggmail.exe
2. In PG Admin go to Interfaces, right-click on GetMail and choose Stop
3. In your PageGate program folder, rename pggmail.exe to pggmail.exe.old
4. Copy the new pggmail.exe you downloaded into the PageGate program folder
5. In PG Admin go to Interfaces, right-click on GetMail and choose Start
6. Send a test and let me know the results

Yes, it looks to have fixed the issue. Prior to new exe, it sent 1/05 as the date, now it is sending 01/05. I will continue to monitor just in case. I appreciate the awesome support you guys provide.
