RE: QtmmSendMail API question

Ah, Rob, SMTP does indeed send mail.

Look at your own post,  "250 jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx will forward"

The SMTP server is saying that it's not the mail server for hb.quik.com,
but that it will send the mail to the correct server for you.


Even those you're using a TELNET client, by connecting to port 25 and by
using SMTP commands, you're effectively using the SMTP protocol to send
mail.

SMTP does not send email.

Again, using DOS as an example, and only the supplied telnet client.
C:\Documents and Settings\rob>telnet 207.38.45.148 25 220 quik.com ESMTP
MAIL FROM:<rob@xxxxxxxxx> 250 rob@xxxxxxxxx sender accepted RCPT
TO:<jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx> 250 jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx will forward


ps:
http://zmailer.org/cgi-bin/mxverify-cgi?DOMAIN=hb.quik.com&SUBMIT=SUBMIT
+KV9.FI+NETWORK
 RCPT TO:<postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>
 550 postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx unknown user account Eh ? What ? No
``postmaster'' supported there ? That violates RFC 2821 section 4.5.1.
