1: Resolution to Project-Open (Linux AOLServer3.3, Microsoft Exchange 2003)
Posted by Cliff Sandford on 02/16/05 09:55 PM
After installing project-open from instructions on the website, I was having an issue with 501 Invalid Address when Project-Open was sending an e-mail to user on the system. I am using Fedora Core 1, Project-Open 3.0.0a, AOLServer3.3oacs, PostgreSQL 7.4.5.

I resolved this issue by doing the folowing:

Extract sendmail.tcl from the AOLServer4.0.10/tcl and replace file in aolserver3.3oacs/modules/tcl. The file appears to be outputting the correct sytax to the SMTP server and I no longer get a sendmail error.

Just make sure that you change /web/projop/etc/config.tcl to point mailhost to your mailserver.

Enjoy!

Yes AOLserver 3 has a bug in the HELO command at line 166 of sendmail.tcl - it tries to send

HELO AOLserver [ns_info hostname]

when the correct syntax for the HELO is actually

HELO [ns_info hostname]

You can just remove the extra 'AOLserver' rather than swap files.

I tried to remove that AOLServer and it did not work for me for some reason. I'm curious do you have the same version of exchange? I've seen some info for Exchange 5.5. I am currently running Exchange 6.0 SP1.

Thanks!
