I thought it was appropriate to keep the entire message that I'm replying
to, so please don't yell at me for over quoting... ;)


Ok, I'm not sure if this is an ele or irex problem.  If I use my uplink as
the hostname for -I it works fine.  If I try to use my local ip as the
server (and set it up that way in irex) to use the name servers to figure
out the destined email server it fails horribly (while my other email
clients work just fine).  Here are my errors, in case someone might have a
clue:
From elebbs.log:

Not very helpful just telling me that it failed...  Elemail shows it
connecting, then gives an error #0

Irex smtplog:

Odd, it connects but doesn't try to do anything and elemail shows it
failing.  Is there any way to create an elemail log?  The elebbs logging for
it is really skimpy, even with expanded logging.  Again, if I use my uplink
as the hostname for elemail smtp server, it works great.  I have no clue if
it's ele or irex, but I'd guess ele.

I'm using Irex 2.29 (1000 node version) and Ele .10rc1.  I haven't tried the
latest stable build yet.

* EleBBS Support List

Hi people,

I'm trying to configure my BBS to send and receive e-mails from Internet for
my domain address. I've already made it works for receiving e-mail at BBS.
I've followed the Shurato's FAQ at pcm's site.

But, things are not working when I try to send e-mails from BBS to Internet.
I've made one thing different from the FAQ: I'm using my IREX SMTPD to relay
messages locally from BBS. The reason is I don't have an ISP for sending
messages for my domain (bsbbs.com.br).

Although, I don't know if this is the cause of the problem.
It looks like there is some protocol problem between ELEMAIL and IREX SMTPD.
Here go the log files:

ELEMAIL:

> 20-Jun 23:40:19 EL01 EleMAIL; POP3/SMTP mail utility fired up
> 20-Jun 23:40:25 EL01 Posting articles to your mailserver
! 20-Jun 23:40:25 EL01 Failed to send (SMTP) message #1 ("250- bsbbs.com.br
Hello bsbbs.com.br")
! 20-Jun 23:40:25 EL01 Failed to send (SMTP) message #2 ("503 You've already
said hello....")
> 20-Jun 23:40:25 EL01 Posting completed (0 articles processed)
> 20-Jun 23:40:25 EL01 Purging outbound articlesfile
> 20-Jun 23:40:25 EL01 Purging completed (2 articles left)

IREX SMTPD:
* 23:40:24 (768) Inbound connection from bsbbs (192.168.7.2) at 06/20/06.
] 23:40:24 (768) 220 bsbbs.com.br Internet Rex ESMTP daemon at your service.
# 23:40:25 (768) HELO bsbbs.com.br
] 23:40:25 (768) 250- bsbbs.com.br Hello bsbbs.com.br
] 23:40:25 (768) 250-8BITMIME
] 23:40:25 (768) 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN
] 23:40:25 (768) 250 HELP
# 23:40:25 (768) HELO bsbbs.com.br
] 23:40:25 (768) 503 You've already said hello....
# 23:40:26 (768) QUIT
* 23:40:26 (768) Session ended.

It looks like the ELEMAIL sends a HELO to IREX, and doesn't like the answer
for some reason. Then it gives up sending the e-mail and starts again saying
HELO for the next message... Then, it gives up again and send a QUIT
finishing the session.

Have anyone here seen this situation before?

I'm using IREX v2.29 and ELEMAIL v20060621 (have already tried with v0.10rc1
and the behavior is the same).

I've tried using IREX SMTPD at my Outlook for sending e-mail for my domain
and it works fine, so the problem seems to be at ELEMAIL side...

Thanks in advance for helping! :)
