Why emails are not being sent
Hi,
When we get from the log that the email address did not start and end with <
>, the emails are not accepted.
smtpserver-2008-09-12-00-00.log:12/09/08 14:12:40 INFO smtpserver:
Successfully spooled mail Mail1221221559824-3031 from info@domaina.co.za on
33.55.55.55 for [support@domainb.co.za]
smtpserver-2008-09-12-00-00.log:12/09/08 14:18:04 ERROR smtpserver: Error
parsing sender address: support@domainb.co.za: did not start and end with <
>
We are sending emails using james-2.3.1 and Microsoft Outlook 2007 with smtp
authentication.
Any idea why this is happening?
thanks

The SMTP protocol requires < and > in the "MAIL FROM:<{senderemail}>"
command.
From RFC2821:
-------
MAIL FROM:<reverse-path> [SP <mail-parameters> ] <CRLF>
The <reverse-path> portion of the first or only argument contains the
source mailbox (between "<" and ">" brackets)
------
In your logs you have a successfull delivery and a failure after 6
minutes. They are 2 different transactions. One of them worked.
