PMMail sometimes gets into a (I believe, memory constrained) condition where it appears to be working but doesn't display message content, and does some other wierd things. Rebooting causes the messages to appear.

The PMMail files are on a FAT32 partition that is shared by both systems. When I try to send mail via comcast.net from the eCS side I get an error and the error log entry is: 503 need MAIL FROM; ; This is the error that resulted from the RCPT TO command. Sending mail from the XP side works correctly, one of the few things that 2000 does better than /2. Has anybody successfully used PMMail/2 to send mail via comcast.net and, if so, how?

I work at an ISP, and have noticed that comcast.net (and aol.com) have tightened their DNS checking-- that the reverse lookup of the sending IP matches the corresponding A record: 69.24.35.6 --> cumbrae.qmss.com --> 69.24.35.6. They'll reject it, otherwise. Some providers also don't care for generic reverse lookups that may be a dialup/DSL: 69-24-35-6-dsl.qmss.com This does not match the error you are getting, but I thought I'd throuw it out there. -- Steve Ewing http://www.qmss.com/~sewing From maynard.o4 at discourse.mentabolism.org Thu Nov 9 01:50:43 2006 From: maynard.o4 at discourse.mentabolism.org (Maynard) Date: Wed, 08 Nov 2006 18:50:43 -0600 (CST) Subject: [pmmail-list] Sending mail via comcast.net In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20061109005044.2BE882DB8598@yager.howlingale.org> On Sun, 05 Nov 2006 10:10:24 -0500 (EST), Jack Weaver wrote: >503 need MAIL FROM; ; This is the error that resulted from the RCPT TO command. Here's what I believe this to mean. "the error that resulted from the RCPT TO command." means that the error testing was applied after the RCPT TO command; the error tested for however include everything which happened prior to, and including, RCPT TO. This is standard practice these days. "503 need MAIL FROM; " indicates that their server insists that the MAIL FROM: value be of the form which may be RFC required, but is certainly RFC suggested. The current applicable RFC for this is, or is linked from, 2821 When PMMail contacts a mail server with outbound mail, it uses something else. I think it's the %HOSTNAME variable. Changing %HOSTNAME to user at domain.tld would probably break something else. It's unfortunate that Comcast applies this test to it's connections from user MUAs. Maybe they can be persuaded of the inappropriateness of that. They'd certainly bend the rules to accomodate Outlook or Exchange. Your other alternative is to install a local email server such as zeryx or weasel. In this configuration you set PMMail to send to the local server, and config the server to relay everything thru comcast. Those mail servers are RFC compliant. I don't know if you can get either of them to bind only to localhost however. If not, they'll be on an exposed port; and you should take care to configure and test them to not be openly relaying. If you're on OS/2, this may be fixed shortly ??
