Hello at all
I know it's incredible, but i have try during an hour before write this topic
I have change several time the zip file, with image or text for be sure the problem is not with the ZIP file
If i use this code and the ZIP extension, the mail received have no attachment
If i just delete the "p" of ZIP so sending a "File.zi" that's works, the mail come with the "File.zi" attachment, and it's exactely the same thing with another extension, or even without extension...that's works
Apparently they are a problem only if the extension is
ZIP
I have try with the 5.20, 5.40, 5.50 and it's the same thing.
Code: Select all
InitNetwork()
Mail$ = "xxxxxx@xxxx.fr"
Smtp$ = "smtp.XXX.fr"
If CreateMail(0, Mail$, "Hello !")
SetMailBody(0, "Hello !" + #CRLF$ + "This is a multi-" + #CRLF$ + "line mail !")
AddMailAttachment(0, "Geebee !" , "C:\Temp\DS000001.zip") ; <===== not works because ZIP extension, but works with ".zi" extension for example
; Change the recipients to real one
AddMailRecipient(0, Mail$, #PB_Mail_To)
; Set the SMTP server to use
Result = SendMail(0, Smtp$, 25)
Repeat
Progress = MailProgress(0)
Delay(300)
Until Progress = #PB_Mail_Finished Or Progress = #PB_Mail_Error
If Progress = #PB_Mail_Finished
MessageRequester("Information", "Mail correctly sent !")
Else
MessageRequester("Error", "Can't sent the mail !")
EndIf
EndIf
Have a good day

if its letting you send .zi files ok but not .zip that might suggest the mail server is filtering the .zip for whatever reason... exe inside maybe? is zip the only filetype its having problems with? what about jpg? exe? (if its filtering zip it would probably filter exe too im guessing)

Some Attachments a blocked by the mail-provider. G-Mail for example blocks:
.ADE, .ADP, .BAT, .CHM, .CMD, .COM, .CPL, .EXE, .HTA, .INS, .ISP, .JAR, .JSE, .LIB, .LNK, .MDE, .MSC, .MSP, .MST, .PIF, .SCR, .SCT, .SHB, .SYS, .VB, .VBE, .VBS, .VXD, .WSC, .WSF, .WSH
It's for security reason.

Always also strange. ..
I have try with another machine...
And after, i have change the adress sending, but i can't change my provider
Then i have sending a zip with my client mail foxmail, and here...no problem. ..the attachment come without problem. ..so it's not a filter of my provider.
An history of mad. .... i understand nothing.

If you re using free as email, the zip file is not receive as an archive.. It is receive as datacode like :

Sending zips works fine for me, so it seems to just be a mail server issue for you and not a bug (sorry to say).

mail server issue
yep, it's the "free Fai" mail server problem.
KCC just have to use 7zp or another one. Or simply rename the .zip to .piz
It's a simple crappy extension filter.

Security reason??? I doubt it..
I think it's the result of encouraging the fear based mindset that is necessary for the kabbal to maintain control of "Western" culture.
Fortunately Yahoo! Mail still treats its users like adults and executables can still be mailed.
Send an executable to a G-mail address, the recipient does not get it, or even know about it.
Of course Google keeps a copy. Do you think that is ethical behavior? I don't.

Now we are too much guarded for security reason, soon it's prohibited to use a computer.
Like this no problem with the securty
In fact, a good machine is a off machine

It's not Fred's problem. He supplies the tools only. If other services don't want to accept those tools, it's not his fault. He's coded the mail lib to conform to SMTP standards, and that's all he has to do. Your mail server is the problem.

No justly
It's apparently not the provider the problem
Because when i send the same mail with my client mail "FoxMail" all are done
And when i send with the PB lib, the ZIP and only the ZIP extension, are coding in base64 and embeded into the mail body
So today FALSAM in french forum have perhaps found a way, for that's works
http://www.purebasic.fr/french/viewtopi ... 45#p187245
I can't test it today, because now i'm behind a PROXY who not allow the port 25
But apparently FALSAM have the same behavior without the MIME type
Code: Select all
If AddMailAttachment(0, fichier$, fichiert$ )
and that's works with
Code: Select all
If AddMailAttachment(0, fichier$, fichiert$, "application/zip")
But i don't know if it's a normal behavior ???
And it's for that, i say, perhaps FRED not send all the informations, about the attachment to the server

That's strange, then. I take back what I said... maybe more investigating is needed. Sorry!
