Email setup question
[1/7] from: sharriff:aina:med-iq at: 12-Oct-2000 15:37
Can someone tell me why I get this error when trying to send mail through a
CGI form?
Sending Email to [sharriff--aina--med-iq--de] ** User Error: No network server
for smtp is specified. ** Where: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'smtp] if email?
email works from rebol directly though. I deleted the "User.r" to force a
new setup, no go. Could it be that it fails because I typed in an IP
address instead of a resolved SMTP name?
Best regards

It depends. If you are using a Web hosting service for your CGI setup, they
may have disabled SMTP. Many Web hosting services disable SMTP and instead
want you to use perl sendmail.

Thats strange, using outlook express, or Lotus notes, I always put in the
IP address, and it works, strange enough is that it works fine from REBOL,
but not from a CGI form, is there a work -around?

If you don't have 'REBOL Extended Definitions' loaded do following
do %rebol.r
when functions are loaded do:
>>set-user
and answer questions asked

Depending on where you have REBOL installed and where your cgi resides,
the cgi may not be able to read user.r to know where SMTP server is. If
the webserver has the REBOL_HOME variable defined in it, then you can
can have a user.r in the REBOL_HOME directory. Otherwise you need a
user.r file with the network definitions defined in it, resident in the
same directory as your cgi scripts for REBOL to read user.r and get its
network definitions. If all of this is already done, then I would look
at the webserver, possibly check with your Admin group to see if SMTP is
turned off by default under cgi or try a simple PERL script to try and
send mail to see if it works under other scripting languages.
You can also try to force defining the smtp host in the REBOL cgi script
with -
system/schemes/default/host: "your_smtp_host.your_domain.com"

:-( doesīnt help at all Robert, it overwrote my user.r file, I sent
immediately an email away from REBOL--> success, the CGI script fails with
the same error. We are using a Domino server, and itīs name is not
something like"smtp.med-iq.de", thats why I had to put in an IP address.
Could it be that REBOL trys too match email and server names in its
validation?
