Description of the bug

Hi,
I have a new problem using emayili that didn't happend before. When I send a mail from an OVH based adress to a gmail adress, I receive an "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" :

XXXX@gmail.com: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[108.177.15.26] said:
550-5.7.1 [178.32.123.219] Messages missing a valid messageId header are
not 550 5.7.1 accepted.
v26-20020a7bcb5a000000b003ef6e812835si1551757wmj.207 - gsmtp (in reply to
end of DATA command)

I don't encouter this issue when:

  • sending from my work adress to a gmail adress
  • sending from my OVH based adress to a non gmail adress

Steps To Reproduce

options(envelope.details = TRUE)
options(envelope.invisible = FALSE)

smtp <- server(
	  host = "ssl0.ovh.net",
	  port = 465,
	  username = "abcd@mydomain.fr",
	  password = "mypassword"
)

email <- envelope(
	  to = "XXXX@gmail.com",
	  from = "abcd@mydomain.fr", 
	  subject = "This is a the subject",
	  text = "Hello!"
)

smtp(email, verbose = TRUE)

Hi @thierry59000, I'm afraid that I don't have an account with OVH so I can't replicate this issue (it works fine for me with all of my existing email addresses).

Can you please do the following for me to help debug:

  1. Send an email from your OVH account to me (my address is in the DESCRIPTION file for the package) using your normal email client (ie. not using {emayili}).
  2. Use {emayili} to send an email from your OVH account to your OVH account (or to any other account which does not have the problem). Then forward this email to me.

I'm hoping that between these two emails I'll be able to discern what's going on with the headers and provide a solution.

Thanks, Andrew.

Hi @thierry59000,

Can you please test something? Install as follows:

install_github("datawookie/emayili", ref = "message-id")

Then try sending the email again.

If this fails, please can you repeat point 2 above and send me the headers like you did earlier?

Thanks, Andrew.

Hi @datawookie,

sorry it took so long, It took me adges to update the dependencies needed to install your new version.

Unfortunatly I have the same problem. I'll send you by mail the headers of the emails. Belows is the call of the function :

Thanks, THierry

Hi @thierry59000, a quick Google for "messages missing a valid messageid header are not 550 5.7.1 accepted" yielded a number of hits.

This seems to be a problem on the SMTP server. Most likely requires then to add a SPF record (see here). I suggest contacting OVH.

Sorry not to be able to help, but this doesn't appear to be an {emayili} problem.

Best regards, Andrew.
