I have been having problems with aolserver being unable to send a password reminder email to the site admin. I am running sendmail on localhost.
I have used telnet to connect and have carried out the MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: tests, all of which work fine. If I use emacs to send a test email as nsadmin it works just fine.
However, if I ask the server to send me a password reminder I get an error :
Now we're really in trouble because we got this error:
Expected a 250 status line; got:
501 5.0.0 Invalid domain name
when trying to send you the following email:
Subject: Your forgotten password on The Militaria Exchange
Please follow the following link to reset your password:
https://63.246.3.10:8446/user/password-update?password%5fold=652294FA3&user%5fid=2604
It seems that aolserver is talking to sendmail ok and sendmail is sending back the Invalid domain name message.
Is this the problem that Tillman's patch fixes or is my setup at fault?

Richard
