Yes, ns_sendmail should get that error message, which IIRC is code 505 or something like that.

Sounds like acs-mail-lite needs some clean-up, just like notifications needed clean-up.

I think the real problem is in ns_sendmail.  acs-mail-lite does a if {[catch ns_sendmail .....  I don't think ns_sendmail handles it that way.

I'll take a look into it.

I've always had a problem with the ns_sendmail handles things (I have a modfidied ns_sendmail I use for uptime.openacs.org).  Maybe we should consider a ns_sendmail wrapper for OpenACS to handle mail sending and error handling correctly?
