User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0 Build ID: 20110811165603 Steps to reproduce: Sent various emails via Thunderbird which included an embedded link. Thunderbird is my mail client and frontier.com is my ISP Actual results: For some unknown reason some such emails are bounced by Frontier with the following message: >Reporting-MTA: dns; out01.dlls.pa.frontiernet.net> > >Final-Recipient: rfc822;john_gocek@yahoo.com >Action: failed >Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) >Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.x.0 - Message bounced by administrator (delivery >attempts: 0) I have spoken to Frontier support several times and the only thing they will tell me is that Thunderbird is doing something wrong, but they won't or can't tell me what's wrong. Their only suggestion is that I use Outlook. I can then compose that exact same email on their webmail front-end and it goes through with nor problem. Expected results: The email should have gone through with no problem
There is not much we can do if we don't know why the server rejects the email.
Don't know if this helps, but the only time it happens is if I include an embedded link in the body of the message. If I include the link as straight text (without the surrounding html) it goes through fine.
Can you give an example of a link that you'd like to send but doesn't go thru ?
Here's the source of first the original message and secondly the source for the bounced message. I then sent it as clear text and it went through.

(In reply to Timberline from comment #4) > Here's the source of first the original message and secondly the source for > the bounced message. I then sent it as clear text and it went through. Link only html mail. Some servers reject or consider as spam if "image only html mail" like next. <html><body><img src="..."></body></html>, in multipart/related with embed image data(cid:), or external image(http:) It looks rejection of spam like html mail by Hotmail and/or Yahoo!. Does Hotmail or Yahoo! reject even when normal HTML mail which contains both message body text and link? Does Hotmail or Yahoo! reject when link only HTML with signature?
Yes, the example I used only contained a link in the body. I used that one because it was the latest. I did consider that a "link only" was the culprit and experimented by using various text before and after the link, changing the subject, etc. All to no avail.

Can you reproduce your problem by other mailer such as pre-loaded Windows Mail? If no, what is SMTP relevant definition between other mailer's one and Tb's one?
Timberline ?
(In reply to WADA from comment #7) > Can you reproduce your problem by other mailer such as pre-loaded Windows > Mail? > If no, what is SMTP relevant definition between other mailer's one and Tb's > one? No, it only happens with Thunderbird. The SMTP I'm using in Thunderbird is smtp.frontier.com. I have no idea what Frontier Mail has since there is no option to view it.
(In reply to Timberline from comment #9) > (In reply to WADA from comment #7) > > Can you reproduce your problem by other mailer such as pre-loaded Windows Mail? > No, it only happens with Thunderbird. Have you compared message source(and html source in mail) generated by Tb and generated by other mailer? Same From:? Same mail structure? Same/similar html mail? Same Content-Type:(name parameter etc.)? > > If no, what is SMTP relevant definition between other mailer's one and Tb's one? > The SMTP I'm using in Thunderbird is smtp.frontier.com. > I have no idea what Frontier Mail has since there is no option to view it. My question was: Was mail sent by other mailer via the same Frontier SMTP? i.e. Rejection by Yahoo! or Hot Mail happens only when Frontier SMTP, or occurs when used SMTP server is different too. Rejection of the mail sent from Tb by Yahoo! or Hot Mail happens only when the SMTP server is used, or occurs even when other SMTP is used by Tb with same From: of mail. Rejection of mail sent from other mailer with same From: by Yahoo! or Hot Mail happens when the same Frontier SMTP server is used by other mailer, or not. If not rejection, temporary server error, but your problem is persistent, so I can't imagine other than rejection. Rejection is done by destination server(Yahoo! or Hotmail), and such server can reject mail by any reason, and I can't imagine that "difference of mailer==difference of string in User-Agent: header" is reason of rejection. Reason is perhaps one or some of next, or something similar; mail structure(text/plain only, text/html only, text/plain+text/html) mail header(name parameter in Content-Type:, ...) html structure(image only, link only, bad word in text, ...) sending SMTP server(blacklist of SMTP server), From:(blacklist of mail domain), To:(blacklist. it's never reason, because mail from other mailer arrives)
> My question was: > Was mail sent by other mailer via the same Frontier SMTP? Unfortunately, I have no way of seeing it. And now to make it even a bit stranger. I just sent another email via Tb to three recipients which included one sentence plus a link created via clicking on link. All three were bounced. I then went back and included the link as plain text which Tb converted to HTML and they went through?????????? The link when clicking on link: <a href="http://www.our-wv.com/about_us.php">Our WV</a><br> The link when entered as plain text allowing Tb to convert to HTML: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.our-wv.com/about_us.php">http://www.our-wv.com/about_us.php</a><br> Notice the "class=" has been added.
reporter, do you still see this problem when using a current version?
