apex_mail is not adding a date header

extern.ulrich.mueller1 Public · Jan 3 2025

Idea Summary
apex_mail.send is not adding a date header on mails sent. This has negative impact on spam (ClamAV MISSING_DATE rule) and usability (mail shows no sending date). The postfix mailserver generally does not add this if missing.

Use Case
Sending mails from Oracle Apex

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Add a date header in the underlying package call utl_smtp.

This has been delivered in Oracle APEX 26.1 as part of bug 38589426!

    While we are looking to implement a comprehensive timezone-aware solution in a future APEX release, APEX 24.2.11 and newer are now adding Date header to messages generated using APEX_MAIL.
