Hi folks - I am receiving this response on a SENDMAIL

"FROM 503.5.5.2 Send Hello First"

OI 9.4 system. Can someone tell me how to send this "hello"?

Thanks much, Mike O.

Hi Mike,

I send lots of emails in 9.4 systems and have never seen this.

Please show your code so we can see what function you are using for sendmail. There have been a number of them over the years. I'm using RTI_CDOMail which was in 9.3. These was a patch file for 9.4, too.

Hey Dave! I am not familiar with RTI_CDOMail, will check it out. This is what I have, which I pulled from a Help screen.

Thanks, Mike O.

subroutine email_error_notice(null)

Declare Function SENDMAIL, Msg

mailservername = "128.103.155.37"

Sendername = "bg-base@bg-base.com"

Recipient = "moneal@bg-base.com"

Subject = "Something bad happened"

Body = "ALERT!!"

CC = "bg-base@bg-base.com"

BCC = ""

replyto = ""

content = ""

attachmentfilelist = 'C:\TEMP\TEST.TXT'

username = ""

password = ""

retval = sendmail(mailservername, sendername, recipient, subject, body, cc, bcc, replyto, content,attachmentfilelist, username, password)

Convert @vm To '-' In retval

Convert @fm To '|' In retval

x = Msg(@Window, 'Retval was |':retval)

Hi, Mike. SENDMAIL is a really, REALLY old program, and doesn't conform to many (most? any?) modern standards for email anymore. As David has suggested, you should really be using something like RTI_CDOMAIL, or perhaps even better RTI_SENDMAIL…

Hi Bryan - So noted, will take a look at RTI_SENDMAIL. Thanks much, Mike

Searching the KnowledgeBase and this Forum didn't show RTI_SENDMAIL.

I did find it in the OINSIGHT 10 documentation.

Which has exactly the same parameters as RTI_CDOMail:

call rti_CDOMail(mailservername, sendername, recipient, subject, body,cc, bcc, replyto, content, attachmentfilelist, Username, Password, useSSL, otherOptions)

rti_cdomail worked like a charm - thanks guys! Mike O.
