Hm well, there is a notion on such things with SMTP authentication, IR (immediate response) for example. The above however .. i have to look around to give an answer, i have not looked in these RFCs for a long time. My gut says the above is not right, especially with the repeated status. Normally server uses 334-TEXT but for the last line, which then would be "334 TEXT", _if_ splitting _this_ very response is allowed. But two times "334 TEXT" is definetely wrong. May i ask what software this is? --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
