being, at the least, unhelpful. We have two whitelisted servers, and have
an active feedback loop where we remove people who want to be removed, and
yet they still continue to block us. They remove the blocks when we ask
them to, but it takes 48-72 hours and worse, I don't know about until AFTER
we get a bunch of undeliverables and our subscribers complain because
they're not getting their e-mail.
I want to be proactive. So, I figured I can connect to their server and
send an e-mail to my own AOL address and look for the responses. If I get
the response showing that a particular url in my content is blocked, then I
switch URL's for all my e-mails that go out. I would probably create a
scheduled task to run, say, every hour, to check this and modify my URL's
appropriately. Then when I see something blocked, it would automatically
fire off an e-mail to their postmaster support, copying me, and asking them
to remove the block.
Well, that's what I need. :) You asked. ;-)
Thanks,
Dave

Theres a few good tcp/ip objects and CFXs at www.intrafoundation.com.
What are you trying to do? Maybe there are other tools that already can do
what you are looking for.

Subject: SMTP or Telnet tools?
Hi,
I'm looking for a way that I can execute a telnet/smtp session from my CF
code and be able to review the responses from the smtp server for each
command that is sent.
For example, something like this:
Open connection to mail.94percent.com
send helo command
read response
send mail from: command
read response
send rcpt to: command
read response
send data command
send data and "." on last line to finish the send.
I would obviously be adding some conditional code in there to take
appropriate action based on the responses.
I'm on CF MX 6.1 (updater 3) and have tried to use both IPWorks COM object
and TCPCLIENT COM object to no avail. My server just freezes when I try
to
create the object. I'm assuming they're not compatible with mx 6.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dave Phillips
