Error sending Email via "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx": Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM: christopher_warner@xxx.gov SIZE=1985" unrecognized or missing


There are two possible reasons:

1) The email address "christopher_warner@xxx.gov" is invalid. Some SMTP server immediately complain about invalid email addresses and refuse to send any mail then. In that case just supply an existing email address or remove that test account.

2) The SMTP server does not like the "SIZE=xxx" option. This comes from a single line in elogd.c:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s SIZE=%d\r\n", from, strlen(text));

you could just go there and remove the " SIZE=%d", so that the line looks like:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s\r\n", from);
to see if that makes any difference.

Ok, so I removed the SIZE=xxx parameter, which is not strictly necessary anyhow I believe. So wait for the next release, and you can try.

Hi all! This is an HTTP POST request submitted from the command line using curl, and providing no authentication information. If I can post as myself using this command, then shouldn't something be done about this? Cheers, Dimitris

Yes indeed. I fixed that in SVN revision 1655. I upgraded this server so you can try again if it works.
