here is a bad fix. The issue for me was my smtp headers weren’t “correct” whatever that means.
on lines 906 and 907 of postie-functions.php these lines exist:
$validSMTP=checkSMTP($mimeDecodedEmail, $smtp);
if (!$poster || !$validSMTP) {
the way I fixed my problem was I changed like 907 to read:
if (!$poster) {
Sooooo…. like i said, terrible, but working!
