When emailing a photo to my SpamCop WebMail from my IPhone (via my Yahoo.com email) the email arrives but no photo arrives.

When I email a photo to my Yahoo.com email account, the photo arrives.

When I email from my Yahoo.com to my SpamCop WebMail account, the photo arrives.

Any idea why emailing from my IPhone to my WebMail account fails to attach the photo?

The question posed doesn't seem to match the scenario described. From your description, it would seem to be an issue with the way Yahoo decides to handle your "to-be-forwarded" e-mail. How do the MIME header lines and body components look, as cmpared to what Yahoo 'saw' and what Yahoo 'delivered' ????

How do I view these?

Easy answer would be "View Source" of the e-mails. The MIME Boundary Lines are defined in the header, then used to'set-off' each different section of the bode .. the plain-text, the HTML, the attached file, etc.

Perhaps there's a bit of a need for more of an explanation of just how you are trying to do what you describe .. For insctance, you stated "emailing a photo to my SpamCop WebMail from my IPhone (via my Yahoo.com email)" .... but then later state "email a photo to my Yahoo.com email account" .... what is actually different between these two actions? I think what I'm not quite understanding is why AT&T isn't involved in your description, followed by the apparent missing step in just how the "via Yahoo.com email" is configured.

For example, is the issue actually at the "upload the attached photo" to the Yahoo e-mail server moment, based on the scenario of you being logged into the Yahoo server and attempting to compose the e-mail on-line ...?????

Hi,

I think I am experiencing the same (or a similar) issue.

When my wife sends me photo or html attachments from her iPhone (iOS 4.0.2) to my spamcop account via the Hotmail SMTP servers they get corrupted and the attachments do not work (examining the raw mail reveals that the mail doesn't have a blank line between the MIME header and body as in this SpamAssassin rule[1]). See example mangled contents below[2].

If the same mail is sent to a gmail account via the same hotmail SMTP setting it arrives at the other side unmangled and does have such a line included[3].

Sending from the iPhone using the same process except via gmail or spamcop SMTP servers also arrives at spamcop unmangled[4].

It looks to me like there may be some problem with spamcop processing mails sent by hotmail SMTP correctly, or maybe hotmail tweaks things just enough that a strict spamcop mail server program doesn't accept the way the blank like is encoded but gmail etc. does?

Any thoughts, suggestions or especially fixes welcome :)

Thanks,

Fred

SpamAssassin Rule: MISSING_MIME_HB_SEP

Standard description: Missing blank line between MIME header and body

Explanation

The format for e-mail requires a blank line between the headers and the body of a message, the lack of one causes this rule to fire.
