B4J Question sending email through exchange problem

[Nokia]

I’m using the JNet library and have a form that sends emails out.. when I set the setting to send emails out through a godaddy.com pop mail server it works fine. When I try to send out through an exchange server I keep getting error message: java.lang.RuntimeException: Empty writer returned: 503 5.5.2 Need rcpt command.



The funny thing is if my put may exchange email as the from and to address it works fine but not when I send out.



I have tried a few different pop servers and they work and tried 3 different exchange servers and version and I always get the same error.



Has anybody else had this issue?

I have looked at the configuration and can't see why anything would be blocking it..

There are several relevant settings:

1. StartTLSMode or UseSSL.
2. AuthMethod - three options.

I know that other developers were able to send emails with StartTLS and AUTH_LOGIN.
There could be several different ports. You need to starttls port.

from what I am reading TSL is a sub security layer for smtp (port 25).. this is what I get when using port 25

this is what I get when I use port 465

it would be nice for them other developers to jump on and explain how they did this...


this is my code sample:

  SMTP.Initialize(strServerAdr, iPort, strUser, strPassword, "SMTP")
   Select Case iMode
     Case 1
       SMTP.StartTLSMode = True
     Case 2
       SMTP.UseSSL = True
   End Select
   Select Case AuthMode
     Case "Plain"
       SMTP.AuthMethod = SMTP.AUTH_PLAIN
     Case "Login"
       SMTP.AuthMethod = SMTP.AUTH_LOGIN
     Case "Cram Md5"
       SMTP.AuthMethod = SMTP.AUTH_CRAM_MD5
   End Select
   SMTP.HtmlBody = chkUseHtml
   SMTP.Sender = strMailFrom
  SMTP.To = strTo
  SMTP.Subject = "Test message"
  SMTP.Body = " This message is sent to indicate the email setting for software configuration are correct"
   
   
  SMTP.Send

Port 25 is usually the non-encrypted port. Port 465 is SSL and port 587 is StartTLS.
