Thanks Terry, I know about the bogus FROM address, and I am using the same FROM address that works in several other places, but doesn't work here, because it's too long..

Here is what I'm seeing if I use too many characters....

What should be:
[sendmail to=steve@fausttheatre.org&from=steve@fausttheatre.org&subject=1234567&content-type=text/html]

Looks like this:
endmail to=steve@fausttheatre.org&from=steve@fausttheatre.org&subject=12345678&content-type=text/html]

The first two characters are being truncated from my code if I put the 8 in the subject line.
This has got me stumped.

I have tested my code literally 100 times and here is what I've found.

The [sendmail] won't work if the 'to' address, or the 'from' address, or the 'subject line' has too many characters.
It works fine when the subject line is 7 characters, but not 8.
It works fine when the 'to' or 'from' domain is 12 characters, but not when it is 23 characters.

Unfortunately, the domain name is 23 characters.

Would this be a setting that my host has set up in his email control panel?

Thanks again to all of you who wrote back to me.

How are you determining that the [sendmail] context is (or
is not) writing the appropriate files to disk from inside the
founditems context?

Are you checking the contents of the EMailProblem and
EMailCompleted folders to see which folder the mail files are
in?

Or are you assuming that the mail files are not being written
to disk simply because you fail to receive the email
messages in your inbox within a reasonable time?

What happens when you use a valid "From" address instead of
the bogus "From" address you're using now?  Some mail
servers reject mail sent from a bogus "From" address.

What does the "Email Log.txt" file say about these emails?


I was told that it is because the [sendmail] is inside of
the [search].
