Android Question SMTP NET library - How to change MAIL FROM smtp directive (actually taken from user)

[MMORETTI964]

Hi, we've used SMTP library to send an email through a commercial stmtp service (mail-up).
We need to login with user/password and specify a sender different from user.

Even if we used the sender property, seems the STMP server (postfix) don't read the from correctly (I saw in the postfix log user as sender).

Feb 26 16:16:10 fsteml03 postfix/smtpd[3200]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[**.**.***.***]: 504 5.5.2 <s66360_1>: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address; from=<s66360_1> to=<s******@*********.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<10.10.**.**>

We've tried to use additional header with "Sender" and "From" but the result is the same.

Here our sample code:

Dim Mail As SMTP

Mail.Initialize("****.******.com", ***, "s66360_1", "***", "SMTP")
Mail.UseSSL = False
Mail.StartTLSMode = True
Mail.Sender = "****.********.com"
Mail.Subject = "Send email"
Mail.To.Add("s******@*********.com")
Mail.Body = "Body mail"

Log(Mail.Sender)
Mail.Send

There is a way to debug the connection (writing on the log the whole SMTP dialog with the server) or you have some idea?
The same SMTP connection works fine with iOs (Objective-C) and with web application using the same parameters.

Thanks.

@Erel
Maybe this link for b4j is concerned to my problem? (Specifying MAIL FROM smtp directive different from SENDER).

Thanks.

The .Sender should be an email address not a hostname as you've set it. I am not at the pc right now, but as far i can remember you can set also the .From field as: My Application <user@domain.com> ... try to play with those 2 (.Sender and .From)

Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address; from=<s66360_1>

You can see in the error that sender addrees requires a full address eg. user@domain.com

I'll post an example when I am at the pc.

After a dumping on the ethernet network, what I see:

16:08:36.801874 IP 10.10.10.59.36939 > 93.174.70.16.terabase: P 61:83(22) ack 248 win 65535 <nop,nop,timestamp 93489839 3620661548>

MAIL FROM directive passed from the android device is the user I set with the Initialize code

Mail.Initialize("****.******.com", ***, "s66360_1", "***", "SMTP")

Instead, I need the "MAIL FROM" set from sender property:

Mail.Sender = "****.********.com"

Maybe I need another function to pass the "mail from" as the library in b4j does or trying to use some other library.

You can use jNet library in your B4A project instead of Net library.

 

[MMORETTI964]

Thank for the response. I will try it.

Can I use in the same project both libraries? I already use Net Library (B4A) for FTP communication.

I already use Net Library (B4A) for FTP communication.

i think ftp is included in the b4j library as well

 

[MMORETTI964]

Yes but I didn't like to re-test all communication in my program (already installed on thousands devices)
My program uses extensively it and even some little changes in the libraries could be dangerous - difficult to discover - blocking application use.

So my chanches is:
* Use b4j NET library together with b4A library
* Use / make / wrap another library waiting while Erel will release a new NET version with that function included.

The test is just easy and done in a minute.
- Add the B4J Lib to your project
- Remove the B4A Lib from your project
- Compile your app.

If the Lib is not compatible or is missing methods you should get an Compiling error.

 

[MMORETTI964]

Yes, I know. But as the library is different, I can have different behaviours in some condition / OS / server FTP...
More, the way we use the library inside our code could give different unexpected result than the original B4A library.
It's not so simple as a compilation, believe me.

[MMORETTI964]

Or... maybe is my misunderstanding... is the same library with same code?

Maurizio

 

[Erel]

Use jNet. It is the same code.

Thanks.
