"Curiouser & curiouser", said Alice... I got the logging working on the Exchange server. I attempted to send an email via that server. Here is the log of the interchange: -----begin----- 192.168.10.xxx, [192.168.10.xxx], 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, 192.168.10.yyy, 0, 20, 319, 250, 0, EHLO, -, [192.168.10.xxx],
192.168.10.xxx, [192.168.10.xxx], 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, 192.168.10.yyy 15, 10, 76, 240, 31, QUIT, -, [192.168.10.xxx], 216.165.174.5, OutboundConnectionResponse, 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, -, 750, 0, 103, 0, 0, -, -, 250 2.6.0 -----end----- (I've altered the ip's to protect the innocent...) Notice that I got an "EHLO" followed by a "QUIT" and then another outside IP started talking to the server. This may be reasonable, since the server is not recognizing my "authentication". But it seems strange, nevertheless. Now, looking through the same log, I noticed this entry: -----begin----- 216.165.174.5, OutboundConnectionCommand, 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, -, 63, 0, 4, 0, 0, EHLO, -, DURANDAL.pecandeluxe.local, 216.165.174.5, OutboundConnectionResponse, 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, -, 156, 0, 30, 0, 0, -, -, 500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command, 216.165.174.5, OutboundConnectionCommand, 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, -, 156, 0, 4, 0, 0, HELO, -, DURANDAL.pecandeluxe.local, 216.165.174.5, OutboundConnectionResponse, 9/29/2005, 10:06:23, SMTPSVC1, DURANDAL, -, 234, 0, 56, 0, 0, -, -, 250 mail.clasenqualitycoatings.com -----end----- Note that "EHLO" is followed by a "500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command". Could it be that Exchange doesn't do "EHLO"? Seems plausible because the very next line is a "HELO" from the same IP and it is greeted with a "250" response. So, is there a way to make Exchange accept the "EHLO" command as well as the "HELO"? Or is this all just a rabbit trail? -Doug Wasn't it chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] who once said... >I just ran a quick test.
