Hello,
I have a problem sending email with outlook (2003 and 2007).
Everything works as expected except outgoing mail. I used the 'check email settings' feature in outlook and it returned an error on sending mail. This is part of the qpsmtp log file:

My interpretation is that Outlook does not send a "date header".
The client that the email is sent from is synchronized, the OS is the normal WinXP pro. If I use my providers SMTP server directly, everything works fine.
This topic is the only reference I can find http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=36846.0 but the problem is unanswered.
Can someone explain what the "check_basicheaders" plugin does?
I am pretty sure I am not the first person that uses outlook and the SME server (7.1.3 in server-only mode) for sending email. Is it possible the check_basicheaders plugin is misconfigured on my server ?

Correct. Outlook is broken. A date header is mandatory.

Correct. Hence, if you search here, you will find that your question has been answered already.

check_basicheaders - Make sure both From and Date headers are present, and
do optional range checking on the Date header
The email message created by outlook when you use the 'test settings' button does not contain a date header. If you perform the same tests manually (send yourself a message, then reply to it...) it should work fine.
You can disable "check_basicheaders" as described in this post: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34260.0. Be sure to read the whole post as some info changed with the 7.1.3 updates...
