    Hi,

    We had a working ASP.NET application sending mail through our old Exchange 2003 server using the pickup directory method. We recently migrated to Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010, and now email sent using the pickup directory method is being corrupted with extra periods being placed in URLs eg:

    If the body of the email continas www.microsoft.com it is corrupted to www..microsoft.com

    I believe this has something to do with how SMTP handles periods if they fall at the beginning of lines.

    If I use the Network method to send the mail from the application this probem disappears. It only happens using the pickup directory method and only since upgrading to Exchange 2010. Here is my code:

    public static void SendMailMessage(string from, string to, string bcc, string cc, string subject, string body)
        {
            MailMessage mMailMessage = new MailMessage();

            // Set the sender address of the mail message
            mMailMessage.From = new MailAddress(from);
            // Set the recepient address of the mail message
            mMailMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress(to));
            // Check if the bcc value is null or an empty string
            if ((bcc != null) && (bcc != string.Empty))
            {
                // Set the Bcc address of the mail message
                mMailMessage.Bcc.Add(new MailAddress(bcc));
            }

            // Check if the cc value is null or an empty value
            if ((cc != null) && (cc != string.Empty))
            {
                // Set the CC address of the mail message
                mMailMessage.CC.Add(new MailAddress(cc));
            }       // Set the subject of the mail message
            mMailMessage.Subject = subject;
            // Set the body of the mail message
            mMailMessage.Body = body;
            // Set the format of the mail message body as HTML
            mMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
            // Set the priority of the mail message to normal
            mMailMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;

            // Instantiate a new instance of SmtpClient
            SmtpClient mSmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
            // Send the mail message
            mSmtpClient.Send(mMailMessage);
        }

    If I use this class from a test snippet as follows (the body is just to make double periods easy to spot):

    string FromEmail = "sales@xxx.com.au";
    string ToEmail = "mark@xxx.com.au";
    string Subject = "SMTP Test";
    string CC = "";
    string BCC = "";
    string EmailBody = "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0";

    MailHelper.SendMailMessage(FromEmail, ToEmail, BCC, CC, Subject, EmailBody);ect, EmailBody);

    The email then looks like this:

    0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0

    Note the double period.

    The Pickup directory is a pain to work with and what you're seeing is a know issue.

    Periods at the beginning of a line are removed when placed into the SMTP Pickup directory

    Specifically you're probably seeing this ... 

             1. Before sending a line of mail text the sender-SMTP checks
            the first character of the line.  If it is a period, one
            additional period is inserted at the beginning of the line.

    There are workarounds (see the KB) but I'd recommend using the Replay directory instead as it avoids this problem and gives you more control:

    • The envelope recipients can differ from the message recipients.
    • You have more control over the delivery status notifications (DSNs).
    • And (importantly for you) Exchange only parses the 1st few lines of x-headers when it picks up the message.

    This should get you started:

    I have tried using the Replay directory with exactly the same result - periods are still being added to the body of the email.

    Finally found the fix - force base64 encoding using :

    MailMessage.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
