Hi
We have two Domino 7.02 servers, and we moved our main mail server off site to be colocated at our ISP for security/business continuity reasons (plus 24x7 power backup etc) this morning. However (even though the connection should in theory be fast enough), we seemed to be suffering problems, particularly from our (non-Domino) ecommerce server which uses SMTP to send order confirmation emails .
So we changed the ecommerce system to use our second Domino server which is still in the main building, and this seems to work. However, what is worrying me is when I tried to test SMTP manually to make sure it was working, I only got blank emails.
I telnetted as follows :
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25 (where xxx… is the internal ip address)
helo server
mail from:tim.crannigan@not_my_real_email.com
rcpt to:tim.crannigan@not_my_real_email.com
data
this is my test email
.
The email was successfully sent and I saw ‘message accepted for delivery’) but the email I got had nothing in the ‘To’ field, and the body was entirely blank.
I have tried this a few times.
Any ideas why this is? It seems as if the automated emails are working, so it’s not a show-stopper, but I would like to know what is going on.
TIA!
