Hi Jeremy,

What I mean by: "even the filename is mentioned in the headers".....see the line between *****

The filename I used in the Curl command (mailtext.txt) is mentioned here in the headers of the received mail.

The subject in my received mail is the subject I typed in the mailtext.txt.

So the subject is used from the file, but the message body is ignored....somehow.

The header properties in my received mail: (servernames etc. are modified)

I don't expect the file as attachement.

I expect the message body in the file to be in the e-mail as the message text.

Does the SMTP server create any logs - in particular does it show the
entire message on its travels?

It probably does, but I am not the administrator on the MS Exchange server, so I don't have access to any MS Exchange logs.

Is cURL meant only to send a single mail if that's what's in the file mentioned in
the cURL command? I'm wondering what would happen if your text file
contained a pair of outbound emails. Would two get sent? And if two were sent,
would the body of the first one still fail to arrive at the destination?

I don't think that is possible as it is not described in RFC 5322<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322.html>.

grtz,
Dutch
