Fixed Sendmail parameter /USER= does not work

[Ruud Uphoff]

I used this command line for test and it work fine:

sendmail /V /X win10@uphoff.eu "Test message" @d:\mytext.txt >d:\testlog.txt

However, I need to override the sender

sendmail /USER="another@uphoff.eu /V /X win10@uphoff.eu "Test message" @d:\mytext.txt >d:\testlog.txt

The last is right as documented by TCC help. But regardless where I add /USER=, the parameter us used as an (invalid) recipient and the message is rejected by the server.

Someone can tel me what I am doing wrong?

Not sure if this is all that is wrong - but I only see 3 double quotes.

sendmail /USER=another@uphoff.eu /V /X win10@uphoff.eu "Test message" @d:\mytext.txt >d:\testlog.txt

See if that works..

Thanks, but to make it more complicated, the first quote was a typo in my message.
In the mean time i found this (is it a bug or am I just somewhat stupid.

WORKS: sendmail /V /X /USER=win10@uphoff.eu ruud@uphoff.eu "Test message" @d:\dirtest.txt
WORKS: sendmail /V /X ruud@uphoff.eu "Test message" @d:\dirtest.txt >D:\testlog.txt
ERROR: sendmail /V /X /USER=win10@uphoff.eu ruud@uphoff.eu "Test message" @d:\dirtest.txt >D:\testlog.txt

Thus only using both /USER= AND redirection results in the following message:
TCC: D:\testmailX.btm [2] SMTP protocol error. 550 Administrative prohibition.

Any idea what happens?

The problem isn't with /USER or redirection; the problem is with the /X option -- it isn't skipping the whitespace before looking for the next switch argument. If you put the /X after the /USER it should work.

I have fixed this for the next build of TCC.

Moving the /X has no effect, however removing it has solved the problem. And now I see that even without /X, te command uses EHLO

Thanks!
