I wonder whether any old string will do as a Message-ID? Well, the first part of it, I mean. Gil, yours came to my box with this as part of the headers:
Message-ID: <2306658440649111.wa.paulgboulderaol....@listserv.ua.edu> I'm guessing the first part of that string is assigned by your email provider and is unique either to AOL or to your email address; if so, it'd be easy enough to include a header with some string using that format, and maybe that's all Google wants to see? Although why Gmail fails text emails and not HTML I don't know. Wait, did you try sending an HTML email to a Gmail address? --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* When faced with a choice between two evils I generally pick the one I've never tried before. -Mae West */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2022 15:14 But what is the remedy? I believe Charles uses a service bureau. Should that site register with a CA honored by Gmail and add Charles to a RACF profile entitling him to send CSSMTP mail?
