My key will not validate
We have found the following things that prevent the key from validating properly:- The space between the "-k" and the key is missing.
- The shell strips apart some of the characters in the key. For example the "%", ">" and "<" are particularly prone to this. To resolve this, enclose the key in double quotes.
- The shell is converting characters for you. This is a particular problem with JP Software's 4NT Shell. Try using CMD.EXE instead.
Eudora
"The recipient "..." is not acceptable to your SMTP server
This is caused by the SMTPD not recognising the name of the person you are trying to send mail to in the local domain. SMTPD will search the list of aliases in "mailbox0", "mailbox1"... until it finds a mail box to place the mail in. When it finds a box, the mail is placed in it and everything is OK. If no box was found AND the "defaultbox" has not be defined (or exists), the mail will be refused and Eudora will print the message you saw.To fix the problem, check you have set up all the user names correctly and add the default mailbox option. For example:
Destroyed Message
This is caused by an ineteraction between Eudora and Windows NT and is nothing to do with the mail software. Support from Qualcomm (producers of Eudora) replied:Try clicking the "blah, blah, blah" switch in the message window. Does that make the whole message appear? If so, it is a known problem with NT that we are still investigating.
We have discovered that closing Eudora down and re-starting usually
solves this problem.
Currently, Eudora runs under NT in Windows emulation. Currently there are
no plans for a native NT version. I'll pass you suggestion along to the
developers. You can send suggestions to them, too, by sending a message to
eudora-suggest@qualcomm.com.
So please would you send a note to Qualcomm! May be we can get a
32-bit version which will make better use of NT and Windows 95.
To install the new version, simply stop your service and copy the
new executable over the old one. Then restart the service. You may note
that the POP server has been changed to POP3D (rather than POPD). You
have the choice of un-installing the POPD (using ".\popd -u") and installing
the new one, or simply copy the new one on top of the old one.
The solution is to stop SMTP (to prevent new mail arriving). Try
to move the mail message to a different file name (use the MOVE command,
not COPY). If this fails, the
mail has been sent. If successful the mail is still waiting to be sent.
Stop POST and delete the mail messages you previously identified.
Start the POST and SMTP services.
A fix will be included for this in version 2.06.
32-bit Eudora
The official response from Qualcomm (producers of Eudora) is:
Interface Problem
This problem manifests itself when your machine has too or more
internet interfaces. The software picks up the default interface
and will only accept mail connections from that interface. The result
is you can post from one interface but not the other. The only solution
to this problem is a software upgrade to NTMAIL01.ZIP or above. This
is now available in the usual place.It stopped working...
This is shareware and the version released will stop working on the
1st February 1995. How about getting a full working version?
Post sends the same message lots of times
This is a problem caused by network transients. It has proved very
difficult to duplicate - however a fix has been created and this is
available in the latest version of NTMAIL04.ZIP (from 1/3/95).
AA$$$$$$.MBX never gets sent
Ocassionally network conditions cause NTMAIL a slight problem and a
thread is spontaneously killed by something in NT. This leaves a file
handle open which is only released when POST stops. However, the mail
will have been sent - the problem is that the old mail box cannot be
deleted.
