My lucky day! I'm seeing some weird errors in my CF Mail.log
Error #1 "Error","TID=192","07/01/02","12:13:42","Failed to send the spooled mail file, C:\CFUSION\MAIL\spool\6B6.cfmail. SMTP server replied "RCPT first (#5.5.1)" Moved file to C:\CFUSION\MAIL\undelivr\953.cfmail." Error#2 "Error","TID=192","07/01/02","12:40:51","Failed to send the spooled mail file, C:\CFUSION\MAIL\spool\A63.cfmail. SMTP server replied "See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html."; Moved file to C:\CFUSION\MAIL\undelivr\A66.cfmail." I believe that the first error message is due the fact an automatic process is sending a email without a repicipient, x-cf-to: I did some research on error #2, is was saying that the message contained "Bare LF's", Bare Linefeeds instead of "CR LF's" carriage return line feeds. Those messages weren't violating 822bis section 2.3, which specifically prohibits all bare LFs. I don't know why the messages would contain those? The body of the CFMail is from a text area box? We're running CF 4.5.2 on NT 4 SP6, the mailserver is QMail on Red Hat 7.1 Thanks! Will We are running QMail on a RedHat Linux 7.1 and use it to relay our CFMail messages through it.
