Question

I’m trying to send a file via Zend Framework’s (1.10.7) Mail library.

$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setSubject('Test');
$mail->setFrom('[e-mail]');
$mail->setBodyText ( "" );

$at = $mail->createAttachment($txtFile->toString(), 
                                'text/plain', 
                                Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT, 
                                Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT);
$mail->addTo ( "[e-mail]" );                              
$mail->send();

The file is a simple text file.
It works with Outllok, I receive a proper attachment but not with Gmail and Lotus Notes.

With Gmail I have this message :

This is a message in Mime Format. If you see this, your mail reader does not support this format.

Lotus Notes says this :

MIME content for this item is stored in attchment $RFC822.eml. Parsing MIME content failed: Incorrect format in MIME data..

What’s wrong with Zend’s Mail attachments ?

Answer 1

Apparently it was our anti-spam software that was messing with the email’s headers (in output).
