Forum OpenACS Development: Sending emails through acs_mail_lite::smtp

Hi there,

It seems acs_mail_lite::smtp wraps the email differently, then emails get rejected by the SMTP service provider.

Postfix logs show the following messages for valid emails (i.e. using mail command) and rejected emails (i.e. using OpenACS ad_proc acs_mail_lite::send)

acs_mail_lite SMTP pkg parameters are all blank. Plus I've assigned mailhost within ns-config.tcl accordingly.
I've followed the execution of ad_proc acs_mail_lite::send, and I added many ns_log Notice's along the code. The very last command is:

"smtp::sendmessage ::mime::43 -originator mailto:nevessouza@iurix.com -header {From mailto:nevessouza@iurix.com} -header {Reply-To mailto:nevessouza@iurix.com} -header {To mailto:iuri_sampaio@hotmail.com} -servers iurix.com -ports 25"

It's within acs_mail_lite::smtp, line 162.

...
if {[catch $cmd errorMsg]} {
ns_log Error "acs-mail-lite::smtp: error $errorMsg while executing\n$cmd"
error $errorMsg
}
...

However, I haven't found a way to go depper within [smtp::sendmessage]. How would I debug this execution?
/api-doc/proc-view?proc=acs_mail_lite::smtp&source_p=1

Why do emails using OpenACS get rejected while emails using "mail" command work successfully? I've assigned the parameter EmailDeliveryMode
to "log". See the entire log bellow

I found a solution but the cause is still unknown to myself. Amending mailhost parameter, within ns-config.tcl, allowed a different content, wraped in the email source. It seems ad_proc acs_mail_lite::smtp connects correctly to Postfix now. Emails from OpenACS work properly now.

Why assiging the domain would be a cause, if hostname was properly configured in the server (i.e. OS settings) ?
