Send Email Fails: Error Messages lack detail: Check success?

Tue Mar 20, 2007 10:34 am

Attempting to send an email using the /Tool E-Mail Send command, the command does not return success or failure and a few seconds later, an error appears in the log file.

Is there a simple way to check if the e-mail was sent successfully?

Is there a way to get a detailed error message saying why the e-mail was not sent successfully?

I receive the error "Error talking to server" when attempting to connect to my upline email account on the iBurst network, yet the same command worked perfectly when trying it on the telkom ADSL network.

Attempting to communicate to another SMTP server on my upline's upline, I receive the error "invalid TO address" instead.

Neither message makes any sense and there does not appear to be any other way to send information out from the router.

Is there a way to fire a URL request, such as http://www.IGuy.co.za/Notify?ABC=123 or a http POST?

Is there any other way to send an email?

SMTP server you try to use does nor recognize your router's ip-address as a part of access.

If you have Linux SMTP server, add ip-address to /etc/mail/access (e.g. with

echo "192.168.0.100 RELAY" >> /etc/mail/access , where 192.168.0.100 is ip-address of your router.

and then renew access.db hash table:

makemap hash access < access


In one word the error message means that the SMTP server you use does not give a relay to your router.

Hi Ice

You have to use the IBurst SMTP server. I suspect you tried using IS's SMTP server which will not work.

About blocking links, no, you can't block a full URL. However, you could block the IP address of that domain, or add a static DNS record under /ip/dns and give it an invalid IP address.
