Hi Michal The address-list feature seems to work for me with any list of valid recipients. When you save the message Arachne creates a .tbs file on your mail directory. In this file the "To: " header contains the expression "@list" (resp. other name of the address file). Only at the moment when you tell Arachne to upload the .tbs files to the smtp server, she looks for the file @list and substitutes the list name by the addresses. As the validity of addresses are to be checked by the smtp server you see individual addresses pass through Arachne's status line. The recipents do not get the message with the line "TO: @list", but they contain the complete list of dislosed recipients in the mail header. If you want to hide this list from the recipients you need to insert "@list" into the "BCC: " field. What went wrong? Is it possible that the file "list" did not exist when or had been deleted before you called the smtp function in Arachne? Or did you upload the .tbs file with a mail transport client other than Arachne? > >Arachne inserts "@list" into the "To:" field, which seems to >be disliked by some recipients' mail servers: The smtp server is not supposed to see any "@list" in the "TO: " field. > ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > (reason: 550 Syntax error in 'To' header: no local part: failing address > is: >@klasa) This indicates to me that the "@list" expression has *not* been substituted by the individual addresses from the "list" file.
