Content type changed to multipart/mixed instead of original type.
Hi,When receiving an e-mail from an external source with "Content-Type: application/edifact",Exchange2007 seems to add/change content type of the originating mail to"Content-Type:multipart/mixed". It appears this also happens with the attached .edi-file(?).Now, this application seems to be kind of picky and only accepts "application/edifact" so it neglects the messagesince it has been converted intomultipart/mixed.I managed to change it so that itbecame plain/text instead, hoping that it would work better. Unfortunatly it didn't.I don't believe we had this problem with Exchange2003 (it was before my time working here), but some research I've done seems to point to that it's onlylike this in Exchange2007.There is only one domain and the exchange server and the application server is in this one domain. The originating e-mail is coming from the outside.So what I want to know is if there is some way to have the e-mails remain untouched or some other simplework-around.Thankful for answers and ideas./Z

At the moment I am trying to walk around the problem by adding a contact (not a mailbox) in exchange that has an external mailadress like contact@serverB.domain.com.ServerB.domain.com is added to the DNS pointing to the IP of ServerB, and added as a trusted domain in exchange.ServerB has a virtual SMTP server installed which I think is supposed to take care of the mails.The incoming mails to contact@domain.com goes to ServerB and they dont seem tohave analtered content type.But unfortunatly they are stuck in a loop now insteadwhich is another problem I'm trying to solve. They seem to want to be sent over and over instead of just landing there in the mailroot/drop folder. Instead they are in the Queue-folder until they "give up", but atleast the mails there arent tampered with.But atleast it's a step forward so far. I'm just trying to fix the looping thingy now..

The loop was a minor configuration-miss. This works nicely now.
