SendMail error

[monpere]

When using sendmail() I am getting error: Failed to send mail '.....': 500 Learn to type!

I have SMTP Server: localhost, port 25

Any thoughts?

Maybe try changing the localhost to whatever smtp server your ISP provides you with?

I run a local SMTP server. QuoteTracker and eSignal are able to use it fine. In NT, under Options-ATI-General tab, I have 'Enable SMTP Server' unset, and under Options-Misc-Mail Setup, I have Server set to localhost, port=25. I believe port 25 is the default for SMTP. I've also tried IP 127.0.0.1 and the 192.168 IP of my computer. Is there anything else I should be configurinig in NT? IS NT designed to work on a localhost SMTP server?

NT uses as commercial mail component which likely is designed to work with any SMTP server. Please try a different SMTP server than your local one.

Ok,

Using SMTP server=smtp.mail.yahoo.com, Port=465, username/password, press 'Test...' button, enter destination address, and got error 'Failed to send test mail. Error receiving data from socket.'

Ok, so, I set Tools-Options-ATI-General-Enable SMTP Server, Unset everything under Tools-Options-Misc-Mail Setup, press 'Test...' button, enter destination address, an got error 'Failed to send test mail. Error connecting to server 81.169.163.72'

What else can I possibly try ????

Sounds like a personal firewall issue maybe?

Any comments from support? Should I just give up on this functionalitly with NT and rely on my other software?
