So the problem has to be caused by the interaction between the sendmail messages created by WebCatalog and your EIMS mail server.I did not have this particular problem, but I had another one with Emailer and EIMS -- when I left off the ending carriage return in my sendmail contexts. No one had an answer for me when I was asking about this problem a couple months ago, so in order to fix it once and for all, I simply switched to SIMS (and I'm glad I did, it's a lot faster than EIMS and it's just as inexpensive since it's free!).Is there a carriage return at the end of your sendmail context? If not, that might be causing the problem ...Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
