messagelabs problem

[James Cridland 0]

One of my accounts is giving the following error:

Headers not found.

Sorry, but it appears you did not provide all email headers.  Please

consult this FAQ for more information on getting full headers from

your software, then try again.

I'm doing it exactly as I have the other accounts (ctrl+u in Thunderbird, select all, copy into new email, send back), so I'm confused as to why this is happening. Here is an example. I've blanked out the actual mailserver, my address, and the spamcop.net address. I hope!

We use, as you can see, MessageLabs for our mail at work.

Not saying that this is the issue, just a very quick glance at your headers ... but ... how does the e-mail get from server-10.tower-25.messagelabs.com to mail25.messagelabs.com ??? Sure, "we" can guess that it might be the same server, but ... the parsing tool is just that, a tool ... and that little skip isn't necessarily "obvious"

It could be a line-wrap problem. If any lines in the header wrap, then the parser will probably fail in dramatic fashion.

If you're sending to your submit.* address, a much better method would be to use your mail client's Forward as Attachment option. (In Mozilla, you'll find it under Message / Forward As).

It has the same effect.
