Hi. I’ve noticed this myself. AFAIK, it’s the Gmail API strips the quoted-printable. I always meant to dig into the API and see if there was a way to prevent that.
The best way to do that is to send your mail through a transactional mail server (queueing the email remotely), like Google Apps, Mandrill or SendGrid. SendGrid is still offering free accounts if you sign up now.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Multisite-wide configuration and logs?I am actively working on multisite code for the next release. You can subscribe to this thread and I’ll let you know when the beta is ready.
You are not the first person with this opinion.
In my view most people install the plugin because the default configuration (this feature is new with v1.7 – previously Postman simply did nothing until configured) from WordPress does not work. Obviously some people do use WordPress successfully with the default configuration, and want to use Postman for the “extras”. I will change the default transport to use PHP mail for this use case.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Received email, but with "Softfail error" in headerI changed the settings per the instructions on the InMotion page, tried the contact form again, and got the same soft fail error as before, with the same message.
Hold on, tiger! DNS data is routinely cached and changes can take up to 48 hours to propogate through the Internet.
[…] or try Postman SMTP as you advise in your article.
Using my SMTP plugin to a mange mail is always a bright idea 😉 but it won’t help you configure SPF correctly.
You’re not supposed to keep Postman configured with the default settings. Hence all the glaring yellow warnings 🙂
Are you saying you don’t know what your correct mail settings are?
If PHP mail accepts your mail without Postman, then your mail settings are hardwired into PHP.ini or similar. I would say for 99.9% of my user base, this is not the case. But I will consider changing the default transport to use PHP mail, just like WordPress does.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Received email, but with "Softfail error" in headerThis domain is missing an SPF record. That is why gmail has made a best guess and only soft failed you. Yes, it will be a problem if Google one day decides to hard failure domains with configurations like yours.
InMotion has published an article on configuring your SPF record for their service.
As for explaining the nature of it, I wrote an article on SPF here : WordPress emails are sent but not received
Unfortunately this is not a standard error message or error code and it would only work on your server.
Are you having a Spam problem?

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Received email, but with "Softfail error" in headerIt’s not your host’s problem; if you’re using a custom domain it’s your problem. What is your domain name?

In reply to: [evolve] Contact Page Emails Not ReceivedI think you can cull the majority of the very first post – it’s not relevant anyway.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Incorrect Authentication Data ErrorWell, Postman does not modify data on uninstall/reinstall, so I would say your progress is coincidental. I would keep a close eye on it!
Cheers 🙂

In reply to: [evolve] Contact Page Emails Not ReceivedWhen I attempt to use the plugin with your AOL address, it suggests the aol.com server with passwords.
Perhaps your web host does not allow you to connect to the AOL server directly and that is why the wizard won’t work for you.
Who is your webhost?

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Incorrect Authentication Data ErrorIf you are sure your username and password are correct, then Hotmail may have disabled passwords for your account. Try using OAuth 2.0 instead.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Incorrect authentication dataGoDaddy has redirected your connection to smtp.office365.com to itself. You are actually connecting to secureserver.net, not smtp.office365.com. GoDaddy prevents direct connections to Office365.
As I mentioned earlier: Try setting enabling the Remote Mail Exchanger in cPanel.
If that doesn’t work, use a different service like SendGrid.
