SMTP Problem

[labull]

Have trouble sending some email.

Mail is from my MS Exchange server to WG SMTP.

Debug log info is below.

Seems to not like a RSET command.

Thanks!

Larry

either that or the client is sending something after the reset that WinGate doesn't like that isn't getting logged...

That also crossed my mind.

Any way to tell what it was?

[adrien]

hmmm, only way I can think of is using a packet sniffer like Netmon

[labull]

NetPatrol wouldn't do it?

[adrien]

oh yeah, possibly! It used to have a packet dump facility - does it still do that?

[genie]

Yes, NetPatrol can be used for sniffing - just make sure the sniffing mode is switched off when you no longer need it - not only does it take quite a lot of disk space, but it also becomes quite slow when the GUI reads out captures from the file.

Wingate 5.2.2 fails three different Open Relay Test routines (and my site has been blackholed) because the server fails to respnd to the RSET command.

Not personally seeing how RSET failing is an Open Relay, it never the less represents a problem.

Any suggestions?

[Don]

In addition to failing the RSET command, the following relay test failed:
