SMTP Error
Hi Ivo,
I was actually using this:
<mvsmtp to="{ l.group }" subject="{ about }" mailhost="**********"
from="************" cc="{ from }">
<MvEVAL EXPR="{'MIME-Version: 1.0' $ l.cr}">
<MvEVAL EXPR="{'Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"' $ l.cr}">
I think I got that from your site, but didn't do it completly.
I have adjusted it to not handle html email, but also, did not add the
tracking info. IP's are logged, as well as the time/date and other general
info. Any ISP would respond to abusing an email system (including aol).
Its my hope that this community will continue to use the system as needed,
and respect it as well. If not, I'll add in the info you suggested and log
it locally.
Bill

Actually, Bill, it looks to me that you are using exactly this two
additional header lines and exactly in this wrong way also in your script
sending emails to the list from the MvCentral. This is why all messages from
MvCentral coming to the list contain the two header lines at the top of the
message body.
Header lines must be part of the SMTP header, and hence you must NOT put nay
blank lines before them. Besides it, if you use the script to send email to
the list (like in Bill's case), then you should definitely avoid the
html/text Content-type - that violates the list policies - the email to the
list should be plain-text only.
And, Bill, to avoid the recent heat you are getting because of anonymous
posts to the list from your website, I would suggest adding the following
code inside your MvSMTP command. Of course, you should warn users on the
script front, that they are no more posting anonymous:
<MvASSIGN NAME="l.cr" VALUE="{asciichar(13) $ asciichar(10)}">
<MvEVAL EXPR="{l.cr $
'ID: ' $ s.callerid $ l.cr $
'IP: ' $ s.remote_addr $ l.cr $
'Host: ' $ s.remote_host $ l.cr $ l.cr
}">
If you prefer hiding the information in the SMTP header, just remove any
line-breaks between the MvSMTP tag and the code - the poster info can be
then viewed in the SMTP header instead of the body. I am not sure though if
Miva's list server would pass them all through - it definitely removes some
header lines from the original sender (but I think it may work anyway):
<MvEVAL EXPR="{
'X-poster-ID: ' $ s.callerid $ l.cr $
'X-poster-IP: ' $ s.remote_addr $ l.cr $
'X-poster-Host: ' $ s.remote_host $ l.cr $ l.cr
}">
If HTML format is wanted, then besides the content type, the correct
separator (CF/LF pair), you should also use the <html> ... <body>
...</body></html> tags. Although most email clients do not really care about
it (just like most browsers do not care), but it is definitely not correct
and may not display correctly on other clients.
The correct way of formatting HTML email is documented here:

Do you have that inside the MVSMTP ?

Thanks for the info Ivo.
I will take it into consideration. But honestly, I don't 'want' to track
anyone. heck, its just a free service to the community.
As to how its being done, - well, I put it on line over 2 years ago - so I
honestly don't remember. Now that I am forced to review everything (thanks
to the jerk that posted) we'll see what happens.

Sorry, should have been more specific. That tag is the first line of file,
not within the SMTP section.

Thanks David,
That fixed part of it. I still got the same error message until I changed
the FROM to a real address within <>. That allowed the email to be sent.
However, the email was received was empty. The rest of the code is as
follows. Maybe its too late to be working on this, it's gotta be obvious.
Any suggestions?
