We also had a problem with this (apparently it is not just 'home-brewed'
php mailers that suffer this violation and getting the programmers to
change their code was, of course, not the answer our customers wanted to
hear. Since we use maildrop for our local mailer we ended up adding the
following to our global maildroprc file:
FORMAIL="/usr/local/bin/formail"
if ( ! ( /^Mime-Version:.*/:h || (/^Content-Type:.*plain/:h ||
(! /^Content-type:.*/)) ) )
{
exception {
xfilter "$FORMAIL -a \"Mime-Version: 1.0\""
}
}
Which does what the original mailer should have done to begin with
(unless the content type is plain or the content type header is absent).
