According to your problem report, the trading application sends:
MAIL FROM:'<usern...@example.com>'
The correct SMTP protocol syntax is:
MAIL FROM:<usern...@example.com>
Not even Sendmail accepts the incorrect syntax.
You can easily view the command by logging the SMTP commands (main.cf:
debug_peer_list = address of client) or by sniffing the network.
