SMTP blocked when sending from V5.6 - ECO 2 but not v5.4
There are small variations in the tcpip/smtp setup from machine to machine BUT the only consistant difference between the ones that send and the ones that don't is the version of TCPIP Services. I could add headers, smtp config, etc to this message, but at this point I thought I would just state the question simply to see if anyone know of a known problem between the two versions smtp. If not I will include the headers and smtp setups.
thanks
Clark Powell

Probably not, but we can't see any of the
message headers or the reject message from
your ISP, so it's a bit difficult for us
non-psychics to intuit what the problem might
be.

I suspect that you'll need to. (You could
get lucky. Often, assembling the data in an
orderly way reveals the problem.)

Re: SMTP blocked when sending from V5.6 - ECO 2 but not v5.4
Whether this difference is due to version level or due to some setup parameter is a question I am submiting to you all.
The reason that my mail from tcpip v5.6 systems is rejected is because it uses the actual domain name for for the "Return-Path:"
and this is not resolvable on the internet.
The v5.4 system are using the TCPIP$SMTP_FROM to deturmine the "Return-Path:".
File SYSDISK2:[SPGWCP]TCPIP$SMTP_LOGFILE.LOG;120
102 Return-Path: William.C.Powell@vmmc.org
103 Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 15:35:42 -0700 (PDT)
104 Message-Id: <08100615354267_14458@alphab.vmmc.org>
105 From: William.C.Powell@vmmc.org
******
File SYSDISK2:[SPGWCP]TCPIP$SMTP_LOGFILE.LOG;76
103 Return-Path: spgwcp@alphax.vmmc.org
104 Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 15:32:49 -0700 (PDT)
105 Message-Id: <08100615324913_21C07DAC@alphax.vmmc.org>
106 From: William.C.Powell@vmmc.org
So what do you all think? Is this due to a setup parameter or a change in v5.6 source code?

I know nothing, but I read that:
TCPIP$SMTP_PROHIBIT_USER_HEADERS Disables
outbound alias processing. This prevents the
use of the TCPIP$SMTP_FROM logical.

Re: SMTP blocked when sending from V5.6 - ECO 2 but not v5.4
As you can see the list of logicals is short and not indicating the difference in behaviour I have observed between v5.4 and v5.6.
(LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
"TCPIP$SMTP_FROM" = "William.C.Powell@vmmc.org"
(LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
"MAIL$PROTOCOL_SMTP" = "TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR"
"TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON" = "SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP]"
"TCPIP$SMTP_ENABLE" = ".1.."
"TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LEVEL" = "4"

Re: SMTP blocked when sending from V5.6 - ECO 2 but not v5.4
Yes, the two versions of SMTP images handle the TCPIP$SMTP_FROM logical differently. 5.4 puts the logical in the 102 Return-Path: and 5.6 doesn't; 5.6 puts the actual user, node and domain name in that field which is why mail from 5.6 would never be acknowledged if the node and domain name are not resolvable. Word is that the behavior of 5.6 is incorrect so it will be fixed in the next eco. Till then, another work around is to put the TCPIP$SMTP_FROM in these brackets as shown:
$ DEF TCPIP$SMTP_FROM -
"
If the address is in those brackets <>, the smtp image will put the address in the return path.
I award 10 points to HP support for figuring this out for me.

Deduct them from HP engineering for putting
in the unrequested, undocumented change.
