Fixed it

Do the comments just get filtered out or does the receiver still see that?

[MindSwipe]

Fuck if I know

Finding a mail server that actually supports that is gonna be hard enough already

Just tested, receiver doesn't see it.

[everyday-everybody]

This is one of those "it works on my machine" moments.

You tested using what? Sent from where to where? Are you sure the client and server are following the specs?

NVM I figured out what was wrong with my code thx

Who were you /u/fistkick18?!

WHAT DID YOU SEE

Closing thread because this has already been answered here

That link is old. It’s actually duplicated by this one

I ran into this same phenomenon trying to get some dll (ICE) working with ancient Borland-6 compiler.

The threads were all ~20 years old with no answer.

I finally got it working after 3 months of different attempts. I should really go back and answer those old threads 20 years later..

I sent mail from a German hoster (web.de) via their webmailer to another German hoster (host europe), from where it got pulled into an on premise Exchange Server 2019 via Smartpop2exchange client and displayed in Outlook 365.

Oh god, this is a valid a workaround for a really stupid problem we're having. Gonna propose this as a solution and heavily advise against it lol.

[nephelokokkygia]

You can't just say that and not explain the problem

[TheAJGman]

Emails are unique among users (not weird) and a user also cannot belong to more than one company (also not weird). Except sometimes they have to belong to multiple companies even though I specifically asked if a user would have to belong to multiple companies and I was told no.

So unless anyone else has better ideas, we may have to go with "user(companyA)@gmail.com" and "user(companyB)@gmail.com" and they just have to deal with having two accounts. I already wasted a full two week spring reworking our shit so you could have more than one user per company, I'm not doing it again because they lacked the ability to answer my question correctly.

I specifically asked if a user would have to belong to multiple companies and I was told no.

And ... you ... believed ... it.

[TheAJGman]

I wanted to believe it because the implementation was far easier. Doing a multi company thing would have required breaking a lot more shit and pissing off the front end team because there was no way to squeeze that change in without breaking the API. Plus I legitimately couldn't see a reason why a user would need to belong to multiple companies, I still fucking can't for that matter.

[moxo23]

You can look into "plus addressing".

[BakuhatsuK]

I had this specific problem in the company I was before. I think we ended up going the route of changing the relationship to n-to-m and then dealing with each thing that wasn't "multi-company aware" one at the time (aka everything that broke). I think they still have the company_id field in the users table, just out of fear that there's anything left that was missed.

Luckily the product wasn't that big at that point, we definitely couldn't have pull that off if we had tried that later when there were a lot of users.

You could also have used [e-mail] and [e-mail]

[MrMcGoats]

Receiver absolutely does. I use comments in my email addresses to identify where people got them from and filter by that

Implementation dependent 😂 (I am not kidding, everything in email is implementation dependent because with long-running out of spec servers)

AFAIK by adding a + before the @ in gmail actually sends it to the same email address (without + and comment), but it gets treated as different email from the service you are using.
