View Full Version : Problem with my autoresponders

OK, weird things: I set up a new autoresponder just now (submissions@buffyguide.com), and, being the person I am, sent a message to that address to test it. The autoresponse I received was:



This is an automatic confirmation that we have received your submission. Thank you for your entry! We will probably only
contact you again if you are the winner. Good luck! :-)

Clearly there's a whole lot of stuff that shouldn't be there, and that's part of the problem, but also, why is my signature (the Jamie and Jeremy part) there again at the very bottom? The first time it appears, that's the one I typed in in the text of the autoresponse. The second one seems to be my sig file getting automatically added? Why?

Neither of these two things happens with my other autoresponder, contest@buffyguide.com, which was created a couple of weeks ago.

The other thing (and this happens with both of the autoresponders) is that double spaces are being added when I hit enter. For example, see the signature (the first one). All I did was hit enter between each line, but it's getting double spaced and looks quite silly. If I don't hit enter, it all comes out on one line. Help!

OK, I tested them by sending the messages from my web-based account, and all that header stuff wasn't there. So should I presume that it has something to do with sending it from my own domain? But then why is it only Submissions and not Contest that did it?

The double spacing thing still happens using my other account, and I also noticed another thing -- the &quot;Cc:&quot; line shows:
[nbsp][nbsp] Cc: recipient list not shown: ;

Is that normal?

Sorry for all the questions... I do really like this feature of the CNC! :) Just trying figure out these little idiosyncracies.
