Stranger in a strange land! I’m a Delphi corporate windows database application developer with a question for you all.
Using components in Delphi I can send emails from my applications talking via SMTP… so I connect and send joeschmoe@domain and email and joe is very happy…
Within our email client it is also possible to send an email as a fax… very cool, by the way! All you do is send it to joeschmoe@faxnumber@fax and away you go…
Well… I want to send a fax using SMTP communications from my Delphi application to joeschmoe@faxnumber@fax and I am getting an error message about the syntax configuration… although the message is not specific I’m certain that it has to do with the fact that there at 2-@ signs in the address and will not accept it so that lotus notes doesn’t even get a chance to process it…
PLEASE HELP… we have notes guys around here who will be able to interpret your responses and apply the proper methods to correct this issue… I would love to pass the information onto them…
The trick is to put a back-slash before the ‘@’ signs so that the gateway doesn’t trip on them… e.g.
If I were in the client and wanted to fax to joe.schmoe@faxnumber@fax that would work great… to get the same effect via the SMTP gateway I need to feed it a TO address of joe.schmoe@faxnumber@fax
Hope someone besides me finds this little tidbit extremely helpful…
Thanks Betsy, I’m sure it’ll help someone. We try to put something in the subject line, like Solved or Solution so people can jump right to it. Thanks again!
