Re: [WebDNA] Serious sendmail problems in 8.02 and 8.1

texte = Hi Matt, Years ago I had the client create a "server@domain.com" email account specifically for use as the from address in [sendmail] tags. This worked well to avoid the 550 error problem. But I just sent a test email to that address and discovered that for some reason it no longer exists. This would explain the sudden appearance of all the 550 errors in my log file! Regarding the inability of my outbound SMTP server (Postfix) to recognize my line ending characters, I just moved the website from one Linux server to another when this problem began. But all my WebDNA code is the same on both servers, and the servers themselves are running the exact save version of Ubuntu. Postfix is likewise configured identically on both servers. This makes it rather difficult to figure out why the problem exists on the new server but not on the old server. Thanks for the very useful info, I'm sure it's going to help me resolve these issues one way or another. Regards, Kenneth Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.webdnasolutions.com Web Database Systems and Linux Server Administration P.S. For future reference: %0B is a vertical tab character %09 is a horizontal tab character %0D is a carriage return character (line ending on pre-OSX Macs) %0A is a line feed character (line ending on Linux & current Macs) %0D%0A used together in this order (line ending on Windows)
