[WriteLog] IARU Robot rejecting log - Problem Solved

My log had contained the lines

START-OF-LOG: 3.0
CALLSIGN: VE3XD
LOCATION: ON
ARRL-SECTION: ON 

On a whim I removed the line LOCATION: ON which was provided by my selection in Writelog. That
resulted in the log being accepted and a confirmation email was received. 

The earlier message was very misleading but I strongly suspected it had nothing to do with my
callsign in the email header.

Mine is getting rejected too but for a different reason.

Your message to iaruhf at iaru.org could not be processed because the
Subject: of the message
    
        Possible_UCE:  VE3XD

is not a valid callsign.  Please resubmit your log with an email
Subject: header that looks like this
 
        Subject: your-callsign

My email subject contained only my callsign which is what they seem to be asking. Just for fun I
tried to take their advice literally and entered a subject

Subject: VE3XD

And it didn't like that either. Why can't they test these robots out with real data from previous
years to get out the bugs before going live. My Cabrillo from Writelog is generally always
acceptable except for a few rare occasions. End of rant.
