Name

send_8bitmime — Enable advertising of 8BITMIME when sending mail

Synopsis

send_8bitmime = "no"

send_8bitmime = "ifavailable"

Description

When set to ifavailable, if a message to be sent to a remote MTA contains 8-bit data and the remote MTA advertises support for 8BITMIME, then Momentum will add BODY=8BITMIME to the MAIL FROM portion of the SMTP conversation. This has the effect of informing the remote MTA that 8-bit data will be forthcoming.

When set to no, then Momentum will not add the parameter to the MAIL FROM.

Note

This option has no effect on whether 7-bit or 8-bit data is actually sent, it only affects whether the remote MTA is informed about 8-bit data. Use the Transform_8BitMime_Content to control 7-bit downconversion.

The default for this option is no.

For RFC 1652 compliance you should set Send_8BitMime to ifavailable and Transform_8BitMime_Content to ifneeded.

Scope

send_8bitmime is valid in the global, binding_group, binding and domain scopes.
