Hi We just changed our simple newsletter service from sendmail to postfix, and went from 0,5 to 3 messages/ sec outgoing :) (mail_version = 2.2.10)
However I soon got bounces with "error: IllegalMIME chars found in header". I gather this is a well known problem: "CRLF to separate mail headers is incorrect": http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15841 The issue as I understand it : Postfix expects EOL to be LF when picking up mail from sendmail on unix and replaces that with CRLF when sending. When it gets CRLF it still replaces the LF and we get CRCRLF. Apparently this is strictly speaking php's problem, as it ought to use the systems EOL when sending. However... Some grepping around reveals that we have about 150 occurrences of the match "grep -i -R ' mail \+('" on our server. Most of these are in 3rd. party software. In other words: It would be REALLY GOOD if there were some way of making the postfix system handle this in a more robust manner. I have googled extensively, but with no clear solution. The best so far is a rather nasty hack: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15841#c123771 There _has_ to be some better way to handle this. Please, can anyone here give me a definitive answer?
