Greetings!

I have been using OI 9.1.1 smtpmail for some years, just fine.

Recently, working on an application that calls the function twice to send emails to two parties I have the issue where sometimes, it returns only the first field "REQS^All OK" (^ is the @vm) in stead of the normal 5 fields

This does not happen every time, so I am thinking something maybe timing to do with my ISP.

I have put a 2+ second delay between calls, not clear if that helps.

Another idea I am thinking of but not tried is to repeat the call 1 or 2 times before giving up when this happens.

So, I guess the question is: Under what conditions will the function return only "REQS All OK" (field one) only?

Any Insights?

Have fun,

Paxton

Can't answer you formal question.

But, I always send mail, call Yield(), then delay 1000 ms

Thanks, Dave. Good advice.

Try establish a session with telnet to your server and see if it has any irregular prompt messages from the server, or any notable delays. These could be messing with the flow of SMTPmail.

There were calls for SMTPMAIL to "yield" via KERNEL32.DLL throughout its execution. These are prototyped as

ULONG STDCALL Sleep(ULONG) AS "whateverRevsoftNamedit"

Maybe these need to be altered if they still exist….
