Cactus, Sylvain
I noticed the problem some time after the April update was done (a month or more) as the store has very little use, so it's hard to pinpoint what was done to the server immediately before the problem occurred.
I do not recall any changes being made to oscommerce for many months now.
I have compared the problematic site with a test install on my own server (which works correctly), and as both are upgraded at the same time, then inherently the upgrade does not seem to be the direct cause of the issue. Email settings in oscommerce are the same, I did try changing settings without any improvement.
I have also compared config files between the 2 systems and they are identical except for site specific names & other details etc.
I looked at the email headers of messages sent from each site.
A partial header from the site with email problems shows:
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: osCommerce
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64

The garbled text is supposed to be the message body which originally said
"test message from oscommerce with problem"
A partial header from the site that is working OK shows:
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: osCommerce
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
test message from oscommerce without problem
Clearly there is additional info in the header for messages coming from the "faulty" system eg
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
I don't really know what to look at to discover where this is coming from.
Can anyone assist/explain a bit more about that additional info in the header ?
Thanks
