smtpmail: Server workarounds
6 Server workarounds
********************
Some SMTP servers have special requirements. The following variables
implement support for common requirements.
‘smtpmail-local-domain’
The variable ‘smtpmail-local-domain’ controls the hostname sent in
the first ‘EHLO’ or ‘HELO’ command sent to the server. It should
be set only if the ‘system-name’ function returns a name that isn’t
accepted by the server. Do not set this variable unless your
server complains.
‘smtpmail-sendto-domain’
The variable ‘smtpmail-sendto-domain’ makes the SMTP library add
‘@’ and the specified value to recipients specified in the message
when they are sent using the ‘RCPT TO’ command. Some
configurations of sendmail requires this behavior. Don’t bother to
set this unless you have get an error like:
Sending failed; SMTP protocol error
when sending mail, and the debug buffer (Debugging))
contains an error such as:
RCPT TO: SOMEONE
501 SOMEONE: recipient address must contain a domain
