These come through with Content Transfer Encoding set to 7bit.<BR />When I setup and trigger an email alert action through Splunk, it fails to relay through and the Content Transfer Encoding is set to base64.<BR />That is the only difference I can detect between the 2 emails using wireshark.<BR />Is there a way to change the Splunk alert email Content transfer encoding to 7bit?<BR />I have looked at sendemail.py and sendemail_handler.py and cannot see where this is specified, it may be in another conf file or perhaps needs to be explicitly defined in one of those 2 .py files?<BR />Thank you for any help.<BR />RASmith</P> Mon, 08 Jun 2020 22:51:09 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/Alert-email-Content-Transfer-Encoding/m-p/470219#M7562 rasmith1 2020-06-08T22:51:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/Alert-email-Content-Transfer-Encoding/m-p/470220#M7563 <P>If you edit both $SplunkHome\etc\apps\search\bin\sendemail.py and sendemail_handler.py and replace UTF8 with us-ascii, emails are sent with 7bit encoding.</P> Thu, 09 Apr 2020 19:32:26 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/Alert-email-Content-Transfer-Encoding/m-p/470220#M7563 rasmith1 2020-04-09T19:32:26Z
