Butãthis won't cause it to fail -- just to add a blank line at the top of the body.ããAlso, I note that the tail end of the program that closes the dialogue with theãserver is absent. Is it really missing, or just not included in the message? ãAfter the body is sent you need to send a "\n.\n" (newlinw-dot-newline) to markãthe end of the body, and then a "quit" to sever the connection with the serverã(unless you want to loop back and send another message).ããif all that looks good, then I'd suggest sticking in a few lines to grab andãdisplay the response from the server so you can see what's wrong. Right afterãeach "SOCKET_WRITE" try adding aãã SOCKET_READLINE sock strã PRINT strããand then run it while you watch (like ;EXEC *MODULE). You should see theãresponses from the server. There will be some garbage there too, but theãplain-text response will also be visible after the garbage. (Anybody know whatãthis garbage is and how to suppress/bypass it?) The responses from the serverãshould let you know what is happening. You may need a PAUSE at the end so itãdoesn't disappear in a flash...ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

Maybe some servers are more tolerant?ãã > sprintf str "helo %s\n" yourdomainã > socket_write sock strã > socket_readline sock strã > print strããYou couldput a SOCKET_READLINE/PRINT after _every_ SOCKET_WRITE so you can seeãwhere the dialogue goes bad. Anyway...ãã > # Terminate body of message, close connection with serverã > set str "\r\n"ã > socket_write sock strã > set str "quit\r\n"ã > socket_close sockããYou are not actually terminating the message, so when you SOCKET_CLOSE theãconnection is reset and the server drops everything you've done so far on theãfloor with a clang.ããAfter you send "data", everything you send is considered part of the messageãuntil you explicitly terminate the message text. You do this by sending a lineãconsisting of a full-stop by itself. IOW "\n.\n" after the message body. Ifãyou don't do this (and your code DOESN'T do this) the "quit" will become justãanother line in the message. Then the SOCKET_CLOSE breaks the connectionã_before_ the message is completed -- so the server discards it. You need toãsend in all:ãã helo domain.comã mail from: me@domain.comã rcpt to: user@destination.comã dataã <additional headers andã body of message goes here,ã as many lines as you like>ã .ã quitããYou HAVE to send the dot before the "quit". On a line by itself.ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
