Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express (which is part of Internet Explorer)?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to settle an argument with a colleague.

I'm using a 3rd party business application that uses extended MAPI to
generate and send simple emails via SMTP (To, Subject, Message Body and
attachment) in Outlook with things like invoices, remittances attached.
The problem I'm having is that the date header is missing from emails
generated this way. This results in a number of emails being rejected
as spam by certain email servers (Error 552 - no date header....)

My question is then who is responsible for ensuring these emails are
RFC2822 compliant?(ie include the origination date in the header) The
MTA, MUA or the 3rd party business application? I suspect the business
app, but my colleague insists the MUA, as the date can only be known
when the command to send (ie pushing the send button) is made.

Thanks in advance

Andy.
