I see no reference to HELO anywhere even in the examples. Any suggestions please. Jim Goodley    Report

I see no reference to HELO anywhere even in the examples. Any suggestions please. Jim Goodley Do you always send over one specific, probably your own SMTP-Server? Is this SMTP-Server locally at your LAN or is this at your ISP? Or do you (or your users/customers) send over several different SMTP-Server? Have you checked whether those SMTP-Servers require any authentification then? There are SMTP-after-POP or SMTPauth. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241892 If e-mailing is crucial to your project then you have to look closely at these two tools:  - http://www.capesoft.com/accessories/netsp.htm  - http://www.cwhandy.ca/chttemplates.html#embedsmtpfunctions hth Wolfgang PS: maybe the server you are using is simply "blacklisted" because of sending SPAM in the past?

Different users have different setups but the one that gave me an error is using an ISP via a LAN and authentication is not required. I don't think clarion messenger caters for HELO and the ISP is looking for a specific value. I will have a look at capesoft anyway. Regards Jim    Report

Helo did not contain a value and various testing machines were black listed due to this omission. Helo is a local VAR of say @S20. The moment I slapped the code Helo = 'Something' in, the problem was solved. No machine was blacklisted thereafter. I suppose you have a similar problem. Regards Marius mwroos    Report

It looks as though the answer really is Nettalk even though I only need it for one of its features. It is disappointing that SV don't provide all the goodies for what must be a very sought after item. Regards Jim    Report
