Re: Emal from RPG - Error

Hi Chamara,

My copy of SMTPR4 does the following:

if ( gethostname(hostbuf: %size(hostbuf)) = 0);
host = %str(%addr(hostbuf));
else;
host = 'unknown';
endif;

...then later...

msg = 'HELO ' + host + CRLF;
if ( sendtext(p_SMTP: msg) = *OFF );
return *OFF;
endif;

In your log, it shows the HELO command being sent without a host name following it. I don't understand how that could happen! It should either say 'HELO myhostname.com' or 'HELO unknown'? Have you modified SMTPR4?

Please also check CFGTCP option 12. The 'Host name' and 'domain name' fields are what determines the host that gethostname() returns.

Also, each routine (SMTP_Connect, SMTP_From, SMTP_Recip, SMTP_data_xxx, etc) reports whether it succeeded or failed by returning an indicator to your routine. You appear to be ignoring the success/fail indicator, and continuing on with the program, even if something failed.
