Well, that's my point exactly. The Exchange server is working the way it works and its implementation of SMTP will differ, relative to other platforms, even other versions of Exchange.
And, no, I don't program, so I don't speak to those issues. But I do TELNET and I also run network traces. The best bet in any communications failure scenario is to use both those tools and check for differences, which sounds like what you're doing, but I'm beating this dead horse so others on the list who didn't know this tip can try it out for themselves. Also because I rather enjoy beating dead horses. I have some videos, if anyone's interested.

The code in question is not mine. I do understand enough programming and PERL to figure out what is going on. I did resolve the issue, sort of, by using a sendmail server to relay the messages, the E2K server and IIS SMTP service would not work. Looks as if it was RFC 812 compliant, but anyway. It also worked using 5.5. Now I just have to find the difference between the communication strings of the 5.5 & sendmail system versus the E2K and IIS 5.0 service. Why . . .oh why it interprets a QUIT command before it send the mail? And not it is not a relay issue. Checked that. John Q Jr. P.S. I'll let you know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Great Cthulhu Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 9:00 PM Subject: RE: SMTP will not send A PHP programming forum, perhaps?

I have an IIS system (www11-sfb) that I want to send mail. When I telnet to the port it works fine and sends mail. This is done from the local machine. See logs below (Telnet from port) for details. But when I use a php script to do it from a web page the mail does not send. It initiates the initial commands but then does not establish the outbound connection. See log below (From PHP script) for details. Can anyone provide me with where to look for the issue? - John Q #Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0 #Version: 1.0 #Date: 2002-09-25 19:18:28 #Fields: date time c-ip cs-username s-sitename s-computername s-ip s-port cs-method sc-win32-status sc-bytes time-taken cs-host cs(Cookie) cs(Referer) (Telnet from port) 2002-09-25 19:18:28 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 HELO 0 50 15 - - - 2002-09-25 19:18:36 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 MAIL 0 37 15 - - - 2002-09-25 19:18:44 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 RCPT 0 0 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:18:44 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 RCPT 0 57 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:18:48 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 c 0 32 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:18:56 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 RCPT 0 31 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 127.0.0.1 - SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 DATA 0 139 11469 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 - OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 55 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 EHLO 0 4 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 38 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 HELO 0 4 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 86 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 MAIL 0 4 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 39 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 RCPT 0 4 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 48 16 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 DATA 0 4 16 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 29 16 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 33 16 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 QUIT 0 4 16 - - - 2002-09-25 19:19:09 mailfilter01-ens.phx1m.domain.com OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB - 25 - 0 22 16 - - - (From PHP script) 2002-09-25 19:23:41 127.0.0.1 www11-sfb SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 HELO 0 50 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:23:41 127.0.0.1 www11-sfb SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 MAIL 0 46 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:23:41 127.0.0.1 www11-sfb SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 RCPT 0 34 0 - - - 2002-09-25 19:23:41 127.0.0.1 www11-sfb SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 DATA 0 139 63 - - - 2002-09-25 19:23:41 127.0.0.1 www11-sfb SMTPSVC1 WWW11-SFB 127.0.0.1 0 QUIT 63 75 0 - - - _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
