I can't send emails. When I try I'm getting this message back from "System Administrator" <start> Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: test Sent: 31/03/2006 12:27 The following recipient(s) could not be reached: '' on 31/03/2006 12:27 503 Valid RCPT TO <recipient> must precede DATA <end> Wtf is that all about?
Cab said... Nah, that's a wild address so it will accept anything to the speedyspic address. It's also happening when I reply to emails from others.
The "RCPT TO" is the part where it looks for an email address (destination) and it obviously needs the email addy, before it can send the body of the email (DATA). FYI, it works when I send email to you, through your mail server. Try the following to see if it works (assuming you're using windows) Click Start then run Type "cmd" Hit enter Type "telnet uk2mxarray4.uk2.net 25" (This is your email server) Hit enter Type "HELO speedyspic.co.uk" Hit enter Type "MAIL FROM:<insert your email address here>" Hit enter Type "RCPT TO:<insert your email address here>" Hit enter Type "DATA" Hit enter Type "Any old garbage" Hit enterType "." (That's right, a full stop by itself) Hit enter Type "QUIT" Hit enter Tell me what happens. This should work. If it does, then I think your email program is playing silly buggers.
Cab said...> > Try the following to see if it works (assuming you're using windows) I just did this again but using the lozzo.org address as it's the primary one. I got a lijne on the screen with a '550 could not find the server' message, or summat like that.
That's probably correct, as lozzo.org doesn't exist (I've just tried it). Did you add .uk to the end of the addy?
What he said. It's nothign you can do apart form phone them up and tell them. Unless you ahve your own smtp server, in which case you should fix it -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Cab said... OK, thanks muchly to yourself and Phil. I'll have to wait for Elly to return from US though, cos she's the one who deals with the ISP and has all the passwords etc.
DNS report shows that it's working so they may have fixed whatever the problem was now http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/mail.ch?domain=
wessie said... UK2 is Elly's domain host. The speedyspic domain is hosted by someone else with a redirect to my lozzo.org.uk address. I have lozzo.org.uk on Elly's account, if that makes any sense.
