Problem
When using Microsoft Outlook, you receive a bounce back message that says Message has lines too long for transport.
Cause
This error is caused because Outlook adds a lot of HTML to email messages and does not properly wrap long lines. This is a known issue with cPanel and they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. This issue only affects Microsoft Outlook users.
Workaround
Currently, there is no permanent fix in place, however there is a workaround available. Please be advised that this requires changing some settings in Microsoft Outlook.
Follow the steps below to implement this workaround:
- Open Microsoft Outlook.
- Select the File menu.
- Select Options
- Select the Mail options.
- Scroll down to Message Format.
- Adjust the value for "Automatically wrap text at character" and set this value between 65 and 70.
- Select OK to apply the changes and close the options window.
