Hi, Kai,
I reached a little different conclusion than the others. What struck
me most was the *formatting* of your script. When I ran you script
(using valid addresses of course), I confirmed errors after:
header: make system/standard/email
and after:
either error? try [ send/header reduce[ recipient1 recipient2 ]
response header]
What puzzles me then is that you reported that fixes like removing "from" worked. Did
you change the formatting after that?
Said differently, when I changed the formatting such that the
block start ("[") followed on the line (unfortunately, at least
1 line will likely wrap):
REBOL []
response: "test"
recipient1: [kpeters--xxx--net]
recipient2: [kpeters--xxx--com]
header: make system/standard/email [
To: [recipient1 ]
From: [ [web--xxx--com] ]
Subject: "subject"
Organization: "organization"
]
either error? try [send/header reduce [recipient1 recipient2] response header][
web-response: { NOT ok! }
write/append %errorlog.txt response
][
web-response: { ok }
]
print web-response
It ran without error. However, I think as may be suggested indirectly by others, you
may wish to achieve a different effect, depending on your goals.
Comments I would like to make include: In your code (with the formatting fixes), the
"From" is only necessary if this designation is different from what is your REBOL default
(found in user.r file). I believe that the "To" may be setting what is supposed to be
multiple email addresses to one (send looks to see if the "to" field is set). If you
try this reformatted version, but only one address receives the email, simply try leaving
the "To:" field off the header, like:
header: make system/standard/email [
From: [ [web--xxx--com] ]
Subject: "subject"
Organization: "organization"
]
Again, "From" may not be necessary either.
I hope that my view does not confuse issues. I just wanted to share that I "saw" a potentially
different (and more basic) problem than the others in regards to the formatting. If
the formatting was actually changed by your client or through the email system, then
my information may be of less use. Does this make sense?
