I do not have any experience with a fax system, but with SMTP as far as I know, each message sent to the server must be terminated with CRLF and not CR.

RFC 821 - 4.1.2. COMMAND SYNTAX wrote:... The commands consist of a command code followed by an argument field. Command codes are four alphabetic characters. Upper and lower case alphabetic characters are to be treated identically. Thus, any of the following may represent the mail command:

MAIL Mail mail MaIl mAIl

This also applies to any symbols representing parameter values, such as "TO" or "to" for the forward-path. Command codes and the argument fields are separated by one or more spaces. However, within the reverse-path and forward-path arguments case is important. In particular, in some hosts the user "smith" is different from the user "Smith".

The argument field consists of a variable length character string ending with the character sequence <CRLF>. The receiver is to take no action until this sequence is received...

Could it be that das "<>" around the mailadresses ist the reason.

I've no trouble with this syntax before, but majordomo seems to have a spezial behavior.

Is it possible to correct the syntax?

As far as I know, the "<" and ">" brackets are mandatory in SMTP, so I will not change that.

rfc2821 - 3.3 Mail Transactions wrote:...
The first step in the procedure is the MAIL command.

MAIL FROM:<reverse-path> [SP <mail-parameters> ] <CRLF>

This command tells the SMTP-receiver that a new mail transaction is
starting and to reset all its state tables and buffers, including any
recipients or mail data. The <reverse-path> portion of the first or
only argument contains the source mailbox (between "<" and ">"
brackets), ...

The second step in the procedure is the RCPT command.

RCPT TO:<forward-path> [ SP <rcpt-parameters> ] <CRLF>

The first or only argument to this command includes a forward-path
(normally a mailbox and domain, always surrounded by "<" and ">"
brackets) identifying one recipient.
...

That said, the problem could be the X-Mailer. I don't know Majordomo, but some anti-spam filters reject an 'unknown' X-Mailer.
Try to change it with PureSMTP_SetXMailer().

Sorry for the post!

Gnozal useses and produces a correct code! It was my fault, because I used an old snippet with a double entry of the "FROM"-field in the header.

Majordomo accept the mails without any problem!

Thanks Gnozal!

When I have some time, I will update my libs for beta 5 (they will be updated for PB4.20 final, but I may not have the time to update for every new beta).

Hello

I receive this response:

SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
host mail.ukonline.co.uk [212.135.6.8]: 550 No From and/or Date header given

I guess it was the Date header the one missing.

Did it has to have some special "valid" format?

Or just
PureSMTP_AddHeader("Date", FormatDate("Y=%yyyy, M= %mm, D=%dd", Date()))

ricardo · Post by **ricardo** » Thu May 22, 2008 8:37 pm

I tried

PureSMTP_AddHeader("Date", FormatDate("Y=%yyyy, M= %mm, D=%dd", Date()))

And the server seems to feel fine about that because i dont receive any more advise, looks like the email reach the destination.

I am glad you solved the problem.
AFAIK, the 'Date' header is not mandatory in SMTP.

Hi Gnozal,

I ve got the newest version from 27.05.2008 PB 4.20.

Works as expected here, using PB4.20 final and jaPBe.
If you are using the PB IDE, don't forget to enable the 'UserLibThreadSafe' subsystem when compiling in threadsafe mode (it's automatic in jaPBe).

Yes, I m working with the PB IDE.

How can I activate this subsystem ? Is it a command or checkbox ?
