[cobalt-users] Sendmail and Forms

["Tolentino, Elmer" <etolentino@xxxxxxxxx>]

To Cobalt Users:

I do not think there was a post for the below issue I am experiencing:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
mailboxname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    (reason: 501 5.5.4 Invalid arguments)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to skylineexch.skylineequitiesrealty.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<httpd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> SIZE=286
AUTH=httpd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<<< 501 5.5.4 Invalid arguments
501 5.6.0 Data format error

This is being caused by form mail using two different types, php phorm
and nms cgi and the same error for both.

MX record is pointing to a MS Exchange box while the web is being hosted
by Cobalt.  Test emails using Openwebmail or Outlook Client from a
domain locally on the Cobalt to MS Exchange box works fine.  Test emails
from a domain not on the Cobalt works fine as well.

This leads to the scripts in question and how Sendmail interprets them.

I found this on the MS Kb:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291828

This user is going to complain that, it was working before.  And when it
was working, it was on a Virtual Server for which we were a reseller.  I
was wondering if there is something that can be added in sendmail.cf to
strip the extra dot at he end of the email address that the MS Exchange
box does not like without the other people having to worry about
modifying the Metadata info on their server.

Thanks again,
Elmer
