2: Re: email problem (response to 1)
Posted by Benjamin Brink on
Hi Claudio,

Changing originator may break some emails that rely on the incoming or return email features, such as acs-mail-lite bounce handling, notifications bounce handling, and replies to forums posts.

I've been working on a an update to acs-mail-lite that is more general for incoming email.

As a result, outbound email is also modified. I think the use of 'originator' is also different and more in line with rfc recommendations.

I don't remember exactly how originator is changed at the moment, because I essentially finished the code a couple of months ago (and am waiting for feedback).

While waiting, I am working on an api for building apps that will make testing more complex components much easier.

I'd be curious if this version works for you: github.com/tekbasse/acs-mail-lite

Please test only on a development system, as it has *not* yet been reviewed by openacs core developers.

If it does not work, perhaps we can find out exactly what is triggering the issue with PEC, so that changes can be made to acs-mail-lite to make it PEC friendly at the same time.

best wishes,
Ben
