1068.0. "repeat mails when receiving uudecoded attachments" by QCAV01::JAYARAM () Fri May 16 1997 11:25

    Hello all,
    
    	I am facing a unique problem in sending decoded attachments
    	from vms mail to exchnage.
    
    	When i send a uudecoded binary file from VMS to 
    	the exchange account i receive six or seven repeat
    	mails to the exchange account, the final one
    	having the attachment in the right form(ie the attchment is an icon
    	which can be clicked to open the doc or xls file)
    	the rest of the mails have the attacment in uudecoded
    	form itself (the ascci file itself)
    
    
    	Can anybody throw some light on this
    
    Thanks in advance
    jayaram

1068.1	more info needed	PARZVL::ogodhcp-124-40-99.ogo.dec.com::kennedy	nuncam non paratus	`Fri May 16 1997 21:30`	13
	I think you mean a uuencoded (not uudecoded) file. UUENCODE turns a binary file into ASCII, which is then sendable via SMTP. A uudecoded file would be a binary file. How are you sending it (using a UCX SMTP sender on the VMS machine, or through an RMC)? Are you using NMail? Have you looked at the headers of the messages (Message -> Properties, then click on the Headers tab) to see if there's any difference between the undecoded messages and the final one?
1068.2	here is the info	QCAV01::JAYARAM		`Sun May 18 1997 12:01`	18
	Thanks for your response sorry, i did mean uuencoded file as you have rightly mentioned I am using rmc (us3rmc) and also nm% i checked up the headers and the route it took was different in two of the mails (copies of the same mail i should say) and also the size of the mails received is different each time, the last copy (the one with the proper attachments ) biggest the others i am able to see the first line of the uuencoded message as begin 600 but the end of the message is not having the "end" line as in any uuencoded message. we are running ucx 3.2 on use vms 5.5-2 but the SMTP is not working consistently hence i did not try through smtp%. any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks and regds jayaram
1068.3	need to see the headers	PARZVL::ogodhcp-124-40-99.ogo.dec.com::kennedy	nuncam non paratus	`Mon May 19 1997 20:00`	12
	Well, us3rmc is in Palo Alto in the US. Unfortunately, the only RMC in AP is JRDMAX in Japan, so right now your messages have to go to the US and back to get from VMSmail to Exchange. Usually if the whole message can't be delivered (and that seems to be the problem here), then the recipient drops the partial message and the sender tries again. I think we need to know where the message is being resent to see how it can be fixed. Can you capture the headers as text and mail them to me? (MaryEllen Kennedy in Exchange or kennedy@mail.dec.com). Don't forward the messages, as the header information may not make it through.
