here's the log from the first failure: > ErrCode = -40 > ErrString = Invalid server address > ErrInfo = wirelessip.com.au > SMAIL SMTP-Send > FF = "wirelessip.com.au" > SMTP = "server.mywork.local" > From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Failed ! > SMTP-Error = "417 Temporary delivery error"
ok, now looking at that, I think it says: "didnt find an MX record, therefore just using the domain, and that failed because it didnt resolve to an IP". well, this is not good, as that domain has an MX record according to every method I use to check. the MX record is mail.wirelessip.com.au so does Xmail have a bug in it's DNS resolver ? or do you rekon that their DNS server is just flakey ? here's the log from the second failure: > ErrCode = -162 > ErrString = End of socket stream data > SMAIL SMTP-Send > MX = "scgwia.kellymoore.com." > SMTP = "server.mywork.local" > From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Failed ! > SMTP-Error = "550 Requested action aborted: Message may contain a virus." I gather the last line of this is gerneated by the target SMTP which I think is running Norton Antivirus for Gateways 2.5 (a quick telnet to that server on prt 25 tells me this). I know there is no virus in the email, but I think that is their (KellyMoore's) problem not mine or xmails. now the question is why is there a . at the end of scgwia.kellymoore.com in the log ? is this just a visual thing, but all is ok ? last Q, David, on win2000/XP could you maybe make xmail use the inbuilt DNS resolving functions instead of custom ? ie, the DnsQuery() function. if you are concerned that it would break other windows flavours, use LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress when xmail loads, rather then linking against Dnsapi.lib/Dnsapi.dll PS. running xmail 1.11 on Win2000 Louis Solomon www.SteelBytes.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
