Email will not send on hosted Application Server. Email Profile name?

[iviowa]

I�m trying to send an email. It works locally by connecting to my server email but doesn�t work after I publish. I saw where I needed to include the Email Profile name so I added a pm.profile line. Still no luck. My Email Profile name is definitely BC_Notice. I tried setting the Default profile so it has all the same setting as my BC_Notice profile, but that didn't help. It may have to do with the profile but I don't know what am I doing wrong.

if (email_smtp_open(ps, "mail.madeupname.com", 25, "Ken", "Password1")) then

pm.to = "[email protected]"
pm.from = "[email protected]"
pm.subject = "My subject"
pm.message = "This is the message"
pm.profile = "BC_Notice"

email_smtp_send(pm, ps)

end if

email_smtp_close(ps)

Email SMTP Activity Log:

Looking at the email activity log on my server I see that if I send the email from my local computer the log shows:
"RCPT To: <[email protected]>"

If I send it through the Server on my host computer, the logged activity is missing "RCPT To:"

Re: Email will not send on hosted Application Server. Email Profile name?

Here is what works:
1. After setting up the email profile and clicking Test. I get the test email.
2. I can run the following code in an Interactive Window on my local machine and I get my sample email.

'This code is run from the Interactive Window on my local computer
dim pm as P
dim ps as P
?email_smtp_open(ps, "mail.madeupname.com", 25, "TestName", "Password1")
= .T.

    pm.to = "[email protected]"
    pm.from = "[email protected]"    
   pm.subject = "BC - my subject"
    pm.message = "this is the message"
    pm.profile = "BC_Notice"
?    email_smtp_send(pm, ps)
= .T.

?ps.buffer
= 250 Requested mail action okay, completed

What doesn't work:
1. I can run that exact same code on my server. A .f. reply and no email

This code is run from the Interactive Window on the server
dim pm as P
dim ps as P
?email_smtp_open(ps, "mail.madeupname.com", 25, "TestName", "Password1")
= .T.
    pm.to = "[email protected]"
    pm.from = "[email protected]"    
    pm.subject = "BC - my subject"
    pm.message = "this is the message"
    pm.profile = "BC_Notice"
?    email_smtp_send(pm, ps)
= .F.

?ps.buffer
= 250 Requested mail action okay, completed

Please Note: I have replaced the Server Name, Username and Password with made up names so posting this code in your Interactive Window will not work.

Any ideas. I've tried everything I can think to try.

Re: Email will not send on hosted Application Server. Email Profile name?

Hi Ken,

I don't have a way to test this but in v8 I did find a "glitch" in using email regarding the "@". Alpha would change the symbol to % % % .

try changing your
pm.to = "[email protected]" to
pm.to = "notice"+chr(64)+"browsecollection.com"

You might need an eval() also such as
pm.to = "eval(notice"+chr(64)+"browsecollection.com)"

same for the pm.from if it works.

Something else to try if noone else has an idea....

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, no luck. There was another post that suggested deleting the Email Profile and recreating it. I tried that too, no luck.

Alpha Software has a relatively new release of the Alpha Five Server. I upgraded and it fixed the problem.
