Problems sending email (IP only)
[1/11] from: tim-johnsons:web at: 31-May-2007 14:09
I'm using kubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn, amd 64)
I *am* able to send and receive email without problem using kmail
with either my internal mail server (localhost) or my ISPs smtp server.
But look here - here's what happens with rebol:
>> set-net[tim-johnsons-web.com mail.mtaonline.net]
>> send tim-johnsons-web.com "hello from rebol"
** Access Error: Cannot connect to mail.mtaonline.net
** Where: open-proto
** Near: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'esmtp]
either only
;; Now I use the IP address for the smtp server:
>> set-net[tim-johnsons-web.com 216.152.176.5]
>> send tim-johnsons-web.com "hello from rebol" ;; works!
The same happens if I use "localhost" vs. 127.0.0.1
Does anyone have any ideas why this happens?
Don't have this problem on my slackware 10.0 box.
Also, I don't have this problem with python scripts.
python's smptlib module happily sends using server names.
thanks

Hi Tim,
>>> set-net[tim-johnsons-web.com mail.mtaonline.net]
Try making mail.mtaonline.net a string. set-net coerces words to
strings internally, so that shouldn't be required, but it's something
to try. Nothing else comes to mind, since I always use host names with
set-net.

Hi Gregg:
I've tried that. Same error.

Hi Ronald:
You don't need all those items for set-net just to send email.
all the same, to demonstrate:
>>set-net[tim-johnsons-web.com mail.mtaonline.net postman.johnsons-web.com
none none none]
>> send tim-johnsons-web.com "hello from rebol"
** Access Error: Cannot connect to mail.mtaonline.net
** Where: open-proto
** Near: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'esmtp]
either only
;; same error
thanks

What does:
read dns://mail.mtaonline.net
return? (Should return 216.152.176.5 I guess.)
I'm guessing REBOL is having trouble resolving host names on 64 bit linux... :(
Regards,
Gabriele.

Nope, it returns none. I anticipated that.

No doubt. I've run into some other wierd stuff also. Very strange error
messages regarding ports.

Can you try to strace that to see what's happening under the hood?
Probably won't help much but you never know.

Gabriele.

It's particular to the OS, works fine on my slackware machine,
and on all the servers I work with.
