This is what the error message is referring to. Some mailers aren't as strict about it but that is the proper format. Qmail is claiming that the mailer is sending .<LF>. to end the conversation. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Kassay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 8:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Odd message from other mail server I am getting an odd response from a mail server that I am attempting to send a message to (fast.net). Here is the message that their server is sending at the end of my message. "451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html"; A main snippet, referencing the error, from that website says: "It was generated by qmail, an Internet message transfer agent. Your mailer tried to send an e-mail message to a server running qmail. Unfortunately, qmail spotted a problem: your mailer sent a bare LF." There are a couple of things that are odd about the situation. 1. The mail that is being rejected appears to have a CR at the end of the message. The message end just like all the other messages that are sent or received by our server. Here is a portion of the capture of the data stream from the message that generates the error. href="http://www.tankstatus.com/ssa_pipeline";>SSA Version 1.0</a> Copyright (c) Intelligent Controls, Inc. 1997-2002</font> </body> </html> . 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html. QUIT 221 Catch you later In the actual capture utility window it shows a box [] after the period just above the line starting with '451 See...' 2. The mail that is sent and rejected is auto generated by one of our web servers (tankstatus.com) based on an event. It is in HTML format and relayed through our Exchange 5.5 server (on separate box). An original message is attached. 3. I am able to sent mail to the host in question (fast.net) from my work station (outlook 2002). The main difference is that my mails are not in html format. 4. We operate this service for several customers and have never had a problem with them receiving our automated emails, which for the most part are identical. This is so odd that I am not even sure where to go to trouble shoot, or even what question(s) to ask in this list. Has anyone got any insight, former experience, suggestions or smart ass comments? At this point anything would be helpful.
