oops. These things happen. I'm not going to quote that entire log because I think there is something fundamentaly wrong with what you are doing (afaict). This is what I can gather from what you have posted so far. You have an exim process listen on port 25. You have another computer that connects to the exim server and is trying to send "emails". You start off the transaction with a HELO, all good. You then RESET the SMTP transaction... ok, weird. You then do a no-operation (NOOP), and RESET again. You then don't give exim a HELO and go stright to the MAIL FROM:, RCPT TO: (so far so good), and then RESET again. Bad. You've just restarted the transaction again and triggered a message to the error log. For good measure, you RESET again.. NOOP and RESET again. I just had to get that out to prove that I hopefully wasn't going insane. This is at least what I think you are doing. SMTP is a conversation between 2 computers. They intoduce each other, they try to figure out a common language they can talk in (7bit, 8bit, TLS etc), based on those greetings. The source computer then tells the server a few critical details about the email before it decides wether or not it's going to accept that email. Once it has decided to accept it, it issues the OK, and reads the message until the end. This is then the servers' last chance to reject that mail before it issues the final OK and the message is considered delivered. What you are doing with a RSET every second command is telling the serer "Whoa! I don't know what you are talking about, or it's just a bad time for me - - let's start from scratch. HELO I'm a client" If what you were doing EVER worked, there was a seriously broken server involved. SMTP - a normal converstaion (ish) 220 mail.fqdn.of.mail.server ESMTP Exim 4.51 HELO my.valid.fqdn 250 mail.fqdn.of.mail.server Hello my.valid.fqdn [256.123.23.12] MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 OK RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 Accepted DATA 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself [blah] . 250 OK id=1Dkiad-0003qY-T3 No RSET's anywhere. If I've missed something, oops. Otherwise, I think you need to look your source program a little more carefully.
