group:E-mail/CDONTS error
iis smtp nntp:
I got the following bounce notice from the recipient of e-mail sent using CDONTS from my
hosted site. I can't figure out which end is in error. Google hasn't been my friend on this one. This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery to the following recipients failed. someone@some.net ============================================================================= Reporting-MTA: dns;beta Received-From-MTA: dns;beta Arrival-Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:14:22 -0400 Final-Recipient: rfc822;someone@some.net Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 HELO does not contain FQDN The code is: body = Request("Comments") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf body = body & "Email Address: " & Request("email") & vbcrlf Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") objMail.From = "Webmaster@mydomain.com" objMail.To = "someone@some.net" objMail.Subject = "Comments - Prefix Lookup" objMail.Body = body objMail.importance=2 objMail.Send Set objMail = nothing Thanks,
The destination MTA is giving back a 5.x.x error because your host
(described as beta) is not presenting itself as a fully qualified host when the HELO command is given. Probably an anti-spam measure or just a picky MTA. You should have your MTA configured to present the FQDN whenever it talks. Sometimes that's just a reverse DNS PTR.

OK. Thanks. I'll talk to my ISP.

Thanks, Al -
I'm very ignorant about this. It's not my server, so I don't think I can do anything about the configuration, if I understand you. What's MTA? Mail Transfer ?? Would CDO be better? Mike [quoted text, click to view] Al Mulnick wrote:

MTA = Mail Transfer Agent: describes the software application that transfers
mail on behalf of other applications. Examples: Sendmail, Exchange, Postfix are all MTA applications. CDO isn't the problem. It's the FQDN of the MTA that is sending. beta is the name that shows. Whoever owns the server needs to configure it. Al [quoted text, click to view] "MikeR" <NOnf4lSPAM@pobox.com> wrote in message

I've totally lost the bubble here (probably in your previous post). The e-mail is being sent via CDONTS from an ASP page on my website. It goes to an e-mail address which is a forwarder to the real recipient. Where do CDONTS and SMTP brush? Or do they? Should I be talking to the forwarder(2nd in the chain) or my ISP(1st)? Sorry for the lack o'knowlege. Thanks, Mike [quoted text, click to view] Al Mulnick wrote:

It is confusing :)
What host is 'beta' and who owns responsibility for it? Remember, the problem is that the HELO command is not presenting the FQDN of the sending mail host. [Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 HELO does not contain FQDN] which is likely due to a reverse DNS PTR record that's missing. Al [quoted text, click to view] "MikeR" <NOnf4lSPAM@pobox.com> wrote in message

In this case, yes the host named beta generated the HELO command.
If it's not your host, then it's one of the hosts that lies in your path. Could be your host, could be the ISP, could be the recipient. Any information in the headers of the message? If it's not your host, then you'd want to start outside your network with the next hop and follow it until you find the host. You can look up the dns records and open your own conversations to the hosts with a telnet session to TCP 25 (from a windows command line: telnet host 25 will open the session you want.) Feel free to drop a note offline if you need some additional help with troubleshooting this. Some more details (some you may not want to share on a public board) would be needed to help any more than these suggestions.
