I'm having a problem with SendMail.prg sample program.
Using my mail server, an eeror is trapped and this is the log file content:

Info: Socket created succesfully
Info: Successfully connected to 213.217.149.16
Info: Server response: 220 FE-mail03.sfg.albacom.net ESMTP Service (7.0.009)
ready
Info: Sending: HELO nowhere.com
Info: Server response: 250 FE-mail03.sfg.albacom.net
Info: Sending: MAIL FROM:lorega@inwind,it
Info: Server response: 501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments to MAIL
command
Error: Unexpected response from server 5
Message transmission failed
Info: Sending: QUIT

Using another connection and another mail server everything works fine.
Of course, I've no problem with Outlook ... any clue?

Lorenzo

Lorenzo,

just check out the COMMA in your mail address. Maybe this causes the error?

Kind regards,

Georg

Hello Lorenzo,

Try to put the sender name between brackets.  <> (do not know the propper
name for these....)
Info: Sending: MAIL FROM:<lorega@inwind.it>

If you are interested in the details, see rfc 822
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html) for the correct syntax of an email
address (see section 6.1 of the above rfc).
