MIME Question - Boundary Redefined

2005-12-20 13:49:33
Please excuse me if this is not the correct place to ask this question.



We are currently using libraries which send our mail in this format: 

-------------------------------------------------------------clip
(Misc headers)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_622_1135029170_19710"
To: <chester(_at_)xxxxxxxx(_dot_)com>
Subject: AP File Export
Return-Path: systemadmin(_at_)xxxxxxx(_dot_)com
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 19 Dec 2005 21:56:36.0943 (UTC)
FILETIME=[156365F0:01C604E7]

--=_622_1135029170_19710
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

--=_622_1135029170_19710
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
boundary="=_622_1135029170_19710"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="AP File Export.dat"


--=_622_1135029170_19710--
----------------------------------------------------------------clip


I believe this looks OK, but CypherTrust IronMail sees this line as a
MIME violation:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
boundary="=_622_1135029170_19710"

CypherTrust says the same boundary cannot be redefined.  I believe this
line would be OK if the boundary was removed altogether or if the
boundary was unique and appropriately closed.  I am unable to find
anything in the RFCs that tells me whether CypherTrust or our mail
libraries are wrong.  


Thanks for any help.
