But sometimes there is e-mail arriving with bad encoding, example german umlauts in headers (that's done by Incredimail when used on a mid- european timezone: Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit, Incredimail writes the Umlaut-a in the header). Is there a way I can get postfix handle this? I use dbmail with PostgreSQL, and occasionaly I see errors of wrong encoding. Now I don't know if I need to fix that in postfix, postgres or dbmail, and if it's fixable at all. As you said, SMTP is ASCII, but that Incredimail wrong headers exist and I'd like to fix... mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
