Empty your smtprelay.tab file and see if that solves the problem. While the file is empty you will have to set your local machines to send authentication when sending mail, which is a good idea anyhow. If emptying the file solves the problem and you really have a reason for the localhost (127.0.0.1) to relay through xmail then put that entry back, but make the mask 255.255.255.255. Report on the results.

[xmail] Command line mailer problems
Hi all. I've recently upgraded from 1.17 and have also upgraded the OS, & have one small issue re. sending of mail from scripts. Using 1.22 on Debian Testing (Etch). I have a filter (bash script) that replies to senders on some conditions. This script uses the mail utility and includes an extra header for the sender (see below): begin --- mail -s "Spam? / Request for mail access" -a "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" "$fromsender" < /var/MailRoot/filters/htmlreply.msg end --- On the new machine I receive many errors (old one no problems). The errors show the sender of the original message as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which I assume is from the Return-path: header) rather than the sender I have specified in the command. And the bounces I get show that the recipient's server also sees [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than the address I specify (see below). begin --- [<00>] XMail bounce: [EMAIL PROTECTED];Error=[501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments] [<01>] Error sending message [1136437219344.2899659696.c5.merlin.auston.com] from [sing.auston.com]. ID: Mail From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rcpt To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Server: [64.156.215.18] [<02>] The reason of the delivery failure was: 501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments end --- Any thoughts?
