- Hi,
-
- We hit a problem with the MX SMTP Server today. It received a message with an
- invalid address from our campus mailer, and instead of aborting the message in a
- tidy way it just rejected the message with status 20EC. This left the mailer
- thinking that the message had not been sent, so it requeued the message and
- tried to send it again 15 minutes later, when the same thing happened on the
- VAX.
-
- This is a portion of the SMTP Server log file:
-
- STM[4]: Receive "MAIL FROM:<@jnt.ac.uk,@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+
- STM[4]: Send "501 Invalid address: <@jnt.ac.uk,@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.ac.uk,@[+JANET.JNT],@gec-b.rutherford.a
- STM[4]: Error: status=20EC
-
- We are running MX 3.1C and VMS V5.5-1.
-
- Is this a known error, and if so is there a patch for it?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Dave
