Agreed

 

Just thought I'd throw out another source for some smtp command logging, but ethereal/netmon would be the best for this type of thing in terms of accuracy.

       Subject: [ExchangeList] log of actual commands and data sent by exchange 2003

       Is there a way to log and view a log of the actual commands that exchange sends and receives during an exchange of email?

       I can not send email to 2 companies but can send to anyone else.

       I can use Telnet to open a SMTP session with their email server and I can send an email that way.

       I am trying to figure out when in the process the error happens. Can anyone tell me what logging or monitoring to turn on to see this.

       I get a 7010 event error in the event viewer but it is just a xexch500 command followed by a 504 need to authenticate first and Microsoft says that is normal and should not stop the email from going through.

       Thanks
