Can you figure out this weird Exchange quirk?
Hi, David here. We're experiencing a very weird, Exchange-related quirk and= I'm hoping one or more of you Exchange wizards out there will know what's = going on.
We send most of these news postings into OutlookPower's content management = system via email. We've been doing this for years, with no problem. However= , when we send in a news posting through our hosted Exchange server, the po= sting tends to include lots of weird equal-sign-space sequences, (like th= =3D s) as you can see in this test posting to WebSpherePower.
Here's what we know. First, we're sending the postings in Plain Text, so it= 's not an RTF or HTML issue. When we send the posting into the CMS using a = simple SMTP server, we don't have any problems. But when we send the postin= g into the CMS using Exchange, we do.
At first, we thought it was Outlook (we were using Outlook 2003). So we tri= ed it in Outlook 2007. Same problem. I thought it was something in how we'd= set up Outlook to talk to Exchange, but that's not the case. Our hosting p= rovider had the idea that we should try submitting the posts through Outloo= k Web Access (for Exchange 2007). That removes both Outlook and our connect= ion from Outlook to Exchange from the variable mix. And the problem persist= s.
And we also know it's not our CMS, because the CMS merely downloads email f= rom a (non-Exchange) SMTP server and since it works from some email submiss= ions and reliably doesn't from the Exchange submission, we know it's not th= e CMS. 'Tis makin' us nuts.
We're pretty much out of ideas here and our hosting provider's also run out= . But we have a very smart readership out there, so I'm hoping you guys hav= e a clue. If you've got a suggestion (please make it polite), send it to me= at david@zatz.com. If your suggestion happens to be the one with the right= answer and we can fix it, I'll publicly tell everyone you're a genius.
Thanks in advance!
