RE: Emal from RPG - Error

As a clarification, the correct syntax is really like HELO
MYSYSTEM.MYDOMAIN.COM

Also, your program is obviously not properly responding to bad (meaning
negative) return codes. It is dangerous to ignore return codes and just
proceed blindly as though nothing was wrong (as demonstrated in your log).
Consider what will happen if errors are not checked in the following
scenario:

Build work file
Update balances
Send work file to recipients
Delete work file


Won't happen to you, you say? Oh. Well that's good. I've seen it happen
and it's not fun to resolve. :)

The clue is in the 501 text.

You send HELO.

It wants to see HELO <host name>, like:
HELO MYSYSTEM
