REBOL CGI mail script "not permitted to relay" ??

Hi list, I want this REBOL CGI script hosted at server "A" to read mail box at server B but I get this error: ** User Error: Server error: tcp 550-(lucas.topserverbr.com<http://lucas.topserverbr.com>) [64.247.16.72 <http://64.247.16.72>] is currently not permitted to relay ** Near: insert port reduce data I need some help to unserstand what's going on. Follows the script REBOL[] set-net[[tvprog--linux25--com] mail.linux25.com <http://mail.linux25.com>] header: make system/standard/email [ From: [[revistaeletronica--revistaeletronica--com--br]] Subject: "Revista Eletrônica - Veja Hoje na TV" Organization: "Unidade Lorenz Ltda." ] ; setup da caixa postal mailbox: [ scheme: 'pop host: "pop.sao.terra.com.br <http://pop.sao.terra.com.br>" user: "[revista--8--terra--com--br]" pass: "pass" timeout: false ] mail: open mailbox forall mail [ message: import-email first mail if find message/subject "hi" [ send/header message/from "I got your message.

That's a pretty simple one. Your mail server seems to think you don't have "relay" privs. This could be because you have the "from" header set to the person's addy who fills out the form. If so, and you don't have the option to decide who gets to relay, you could always put the email addy in the Reply-To: header instead. Eric Carlos Lorenz wrote:

Sorry but I did not understand what you meant. What address should I put in the reply-to: header? The one that belongs to the person that filled out the form? 2005/5/31, Eric Haddix <[eric--ehrichweiss--com]>:

Hi Carlos, On Thursday, June 2, 2005, 4:34:43 PM, you wrote: CL> Not working yet.

This has nothing to do with REBOL actually, any other program you used to send emails would give you the same problem.

Hi Gabriele, I understand. Perhaps this has something to do with SPAM control and I guess they won't change this configuration for me :( 2005/6/2, Gabriele Santilli <[gabriele--colellachiara--com]>:

Hi Eric, Gabrielle and the rest Just to report that I have solved the problem using this set-net configuration: set-net[[myemail--myispprovider--com] localhost]. Using the word LOCALHOST at the place of smtp server address solved the problems with those annoying NOT-PERMITTED-TO-RELAY messages. I am happy for the problem was solved without having to ask for special configurations to the guys at ISP though I do not understand yet the difference between using the the work LOCALHOST in place of the real smtp address. Anyway thank you guys! Greetings 2005/6/2, Carlos Lorenz <[carlos--lorenz--gmail--com]>:

Very often, particularly with Linux boxes, any connections directed at localhost are allowed without restrictions since any connection coming in from "localhost" must be originating from the computer itself and not some untrusted machine somewhere on the network.
