Well in desperation I decided that I would just get my script to telnet
into my mailserver to get the job done since I could do it "the old
fashioned way" and while researching what that would require I
discovered a post on the ESMTP.r that solved the authentication problems.
It said to not use ESMTP.r(heh) and to use system/schemes/smtp/user:
enbase/base "myusername" 64, etc. but now it won't let me add my custom
header of "Registration System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" because it keeps
putting "<>" around that part of the header giving me "<Registration
System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>". It works fine if I just put "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Any way to stop that from happening?
