Hi to all,
I have a problem with SMTP "MAIL FROM:" .

I use the correct address, but my mail server does not accept it.

The error message is :

Info: Server response: 501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments to MAIL
command

thank

Massimo

If you have access to the mailserver, set the SMTP server to log all
communications to a file. Then you will be able to examine what is
being sent to the server - it's probably not what you think.

If you have time on your hands, you could write a dummy SMTP server to
do the same.

As another option, you could telnet into your SMTP server and try and
manually send the same message and see what happens.

Regards,
