=============



Hello,

my original question was
>I have installed Sendmail 8.8.8 on my 4100 on DU 4.0d .
>But i have a pb when i send a message with dxmail :
>post: pb initializing server; [RPLY] 503 Polite say HELO first
>send: message not delivered to anyone
>Any ideas ?

Merci a Magali.Bernard_at_univ-st-etienne.fr (Magali BERNARD) , "Charles M. Richmond"
<cmr_at_iisc.com> , Hubert Ulliac <Hubert.Ulliac_at_Uhb.Fr>
and Tom Smith <smith_at_semail.mro.dec.com> .



L'explication :
MH does not respect RFC 821 : MH (what's used by dxmail) does not issue an HELO in its SMTP
dialog.



two solutions :
- You need to upgrade to nmh or to mh-6.8.3.

- You need take out the option "needmailhelo" in the sendmail.cf
I have choosed this :-)
