Reminder: empty email subjects in Snow Leopard server’s postfix

By default Snow Leopard server doesn't allow sending emails with blank subjects.

In order to change this behaviour open:

/etc/postfix/custom_header_checks

and comment the:

/^subject: *$/ REJECT empty subject header

line by prepending a # , so it reads:

#/^subject: *$/ REJECT empty subject header

Restart the mail service.

  1. Thank you – this is really dumb. I have setup 100s of postfix boxes on various *NIX platforms and never has this been an issue. Have spent a good few hours looking into this today. All is now good so thanks again!

  2. Thanks… one quick search on google. Found this… applied fix.
    Less than 5 minutes.

    THANK YOU
