[REBOL] ESMTP User Error
From: berniegs::prodigy::net at: 27-Jun-2005 10:19
Hi,
I sent feedback to RT about an error I'm receiving from ESMTP. They suggested that I
post my problem here to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Here's my
console display:

Since I normally use AVG Anti-virus email scan turned on, I thought that it might be
the cause of the problem, so I turned it off, and tried it again, and got:

I'm not sure why I'm getting "user" errors, since I seem to be following the documentation
and its examples correctly.
Perhaps it has something to do with the "proxy server" (something I'm not familiar with)
that AVG appears to be using? Maybe I need to put some kind of proxy settings in Rebol's
'set-net word? What values would I use for these settings?
But if the proxy server were the problem, why would I still get the error when I turn
it off?
Sorry if I appear to be so ignorant on email settings, but I really am. Does anyone have
any ideas?
BTW, my normal email program, Outlook Express works perfectly with or without AVG's scanner.
TIA,
Bernie Schneider
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed
by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will
be lonely often and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay
for the privilege of owning yourself.
