Hi all.
I connected directly to XMail 1.9 on Redhat 7.2 for some tests, & noticed what seems to be an inconsistency. When connecting directly to the smtp server via telnet, I get an inconsistent response to the "MAIL FROM:" line. At times when I put a space between the colon and the "<" that begins the e-mail address I get an error, as in the transcript below. At other times I get an "OK" response if I include the space. This seems quite arbitrary. Sometimes the first message requires no space & subsequent messages (without quitting) want a space. At other times the first message requires a space. And at other times if I leave no space I get an error on the first try, but if I enter the "MAIL FROM" again without a space it's ok. Am I doing something wrong or what? Is the sequence of commands below correct? Thanks. Adrian Hicks -----Begin Transcript [root@excalibur root]# telnet merlin.auston.com 25 Trying 202.42.186.82... Connected to merlin.auston.com.
