SMTP Send Email Attachment with Password

[Rob Mostyn]

I too have had a lot of difficulty sending emails with attachments from Omnis.
I get a different error message though… Relay not permitted.
Sending the same message and attachments from my Mail client works fine.

I haven’t got to the bottom of it yet, too distracted with more pressing issues.
But I am wondering if there are some specific headers that are being included by Mail clients that we should be adding to the email being sent in Omnis.  I have no idea what needs to be included though.

Headers is the only obvious thing that is different between sending from Mail client v. Omnis.

Any other ideas?  The fact that the email being sent is being recorded in a “Sent” folder?

Cheers,
Rob

If yes, save the file as a MSG file, then use one of the many converters to convert the mail to EML format, e.g. https://www.zamzar.com/. Have a look at the contents of the EML file in a text editor. Perhaps you can glean some information about missing parameters in the MIME list from the EML formatted mail that successfully sent your PDF.

The challenge is if I attach a PDF file encrypted with a password, the file is delivered but I cannot open it. Neither does the PDF prompt for a password to open.
