After a minute of sending but no completion, I got an error message that said the smtp server replied error 4.1.2, and recipient domain not found. Actually it was probably a 450 error with a 4.1.2 Enhanced Mail System Status (for humans) of what is going on. Since I was replying to a known sender, I neither mistyped nor missent. I called my ISP to find out what error 4.1.2 was. The support guy said he had no idea and besides it was an error code generated by my e-mail client, not the isp. He should have figured out that it was a 450 error: 450 Requested mail action not taken: mailbox unavailable So, did seamonkey generate this error code or did it get it from my isp and patch it into the error window? Your ISP generated the message. After closing the error window, I just hit send again in the compose window and, after some hesitation, it went through. That is because '4' error codes are Persistent Transient Failures. The receiving end may have experienced a hiccup, temporary service disruption etc. I am still wanting know what error code 4.1.2 is all about. I /think/ it comes from an internet code protocol standard, but I could not find it. Thanks. This might help: http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/05/21/smtp-replies.html and particularly: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1893.txt 4.X.X Persistent Transient Failure A persistent transient failure is one in which the message as sent is valid, but some temporary event prevents the successful sending of the message. Sending in the future may be successful. X.1.X Addressing Status The address status reports on the originator or destination address. It may include address syntax or validity. These errors can generally be corrected by the sender and retried. X.1.2 Bad destination system address The destination system specified in the address does not exist or is incapable of accepting mail. For Internet mail names, this means the address portion to the right of the @ is invalid for mail. This codes is only useful for permanent failures. Thanks to all for the information and explanation. I'll pass this along to my ISP tech support BUT, it will be a waste of time. The ones I talk to seem to have almost no technical training or knowledge and, even though Peter suggests speaking to a higher-up, it is impossible. I've tried this on numerous occasions over many years. Of note, the tech support for this company is in Columbus, Ohio, not exported off shore. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The delay you mentioned was caused by sendmail trying to resolve whatever domain you were sending to. The length of the delay was caused by whatever sendmail is using to resolve domains. ... and the sendmail in this case is the service provided by the ISP. So go back to your ISP and show this to the support tech. However, I would guess that the problem will be temporary (yes, even though the error says it's permanent - that just means it will be a problem until they correct it). ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
