Interesting that your clients subscribers are coming up with email addresses that don't exist ;) Also interesting that hiding the error 550 rather than reporting it is what a valid newslist would want. Surely they'd like to know that their valid customers address is wrong ;)
Also. 550 is a generic error, used for more than one thing by the ISP. You need to contact them. It's got nothing to do with the indy code. For example. In NZ SMTP rerouting is not possible. Explained: if you are an xtra user, and you take your laptop to a house that uses orcon, you cannot send mail using smtp.xtra.co.nz at that line. You must use smtp.orcon.net even though you are an xtra customer. And vise versa. It's a telecom trick so that they can charge extra for their SSL enabled smtp servers. This will also return you a 550 error. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alister Christie Sent: Wednesday, 22 February 2006 1:10 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Problems with TIdsmtp No worries, I wasn't being hostile (there were nowhere enough f*** words and/or yo mamma insults to constitute that).
