Slightly off topic, but a user has observed that any email sent in plain text is bounced, any mail sent as HTML gets sent.

Has anyone encountered such an issue? My environment hasn't really changed in months and I'm confused.

Thanks,
James

James,

Do you have logs of the instances where 'plain text' emails bounced or
were rejected? Would be quite helpful to see that if so!

I've encountered lots of things that seemed odd and confusing
at first glance. I've also received numerous reports from
end-users that turned out to be totally bogus.

Clarity is (usually) restored by carefully reading the logs,
and/or asking the end user to provide further details, such as
the bounce message.

So your task is to find evidence in the logs supporting the
user's claims. If you need further help, post evidence to the
list.

Further speculation on what could possibly cause such behavior
is pointless.
