cfpop - recognize original sender

ronjambo · #1 August 15th, 2008, 02:05 PM

Hi Community,

i have a problem. I want to know the original sender, when I forward a message via Outlook.

Example:
Person A sends a message to person B. Person B forwards the message to person C. Person C gets the message via cfpop and wants to know the original sender (person A).

I tried it with queryname.header but I only see person B (from) and person C (to). I also tried to forward the message via attachment but cfpop doesn't recognize the Outlook format.

What can I do?

Can you post the code that you've tried?

Are you using getAll for the action?

Does qGetMessages.header contain the original sender within the long strings on each row? If so, you'll need to parse it to get the information.

No, that's the problem! It contains only the address from the forwarder.

Well, if it's not contained in the header, I can't think of any way that you could get that information.
What does something like this show?

 <cfoutput query="qGetMessages">

    #qGetMessages.header#

    <hr>

</cfoutput>

Just replace any sensitive information.

I'm not sure exactly how this works, but have you checked the attachment contents for the rest of the headers. If it's not contained there, then this info. is probably not attainable.

What is Bytes?
