[REBOL] Re: File writing issue

Hi Matt,
A few notes on your email.
1) Your HELO line is misspelt below to be EHLO.
2) Your code just blindly "dumps" the HELO along with MAIL FROM and RCPT TO
and the rest of the message down the line - it does not wait on and check
for server responses to these first three. With SMTP, HELO and QUIT could
take a little while to occur. On the HELO the SMTP server needs to acquire a
lock on the mailbox, on the QUIT it processes any deletions and releases the
lock (who knows what else it could be doing). So with multiple clients
coming in, you really need to wait to check that you get the lock.
3) Why not use SEND instead of your own code? It will wait on the HELO and
check the response. You can add custom headers in using the /HEADER
refinement of SEND.
4) Have you checked that the process your server code runs in has the
necessary privileges? Perhaps you should add some code to write a log to a
text file - to ensure that that it is doing what you hope it is doing.
Regards,
Brett.
