SENDMAIL Problem in TCC12

Jun

I have copied the Internet settings from TCC11 to TCC12. The same
SENDMAIL command that works in TCMD11 fails in TCMD12 with the following
error report: TCC: error during handshake[2]: 0x80090308.

I have another issue of confusion. Both versions report in the options
dialog that they are using the same file:

...AppData\Local\JPSoft\TCMD.INI

The options, however, are not the same, so something is keeping track of
both versions.

I'm having a similar problem;

Code:
sendmail /v [email protected] %1 @%1
Connecting to mail server.
Connected.
220 toip3.srvr.bell.ca ESMTP
EHLO LRDELLXP
250-toip3.srvr.bell.ca
250-8BITMIME
250 SIZE 31457280
STARTTLS
500 #5.5.1 command not recognized
TCC: SMTP protocol error. 500 #5.5.1 command not recognized.
This works fine in Version 11 but not in Version 12.

I have gone into Options, Configure TCC, Internet, and have entered the same info that I had in V11.

I am using;

Code:
TCC  12.00.23   Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 23   Windows XP Build 2600  Service Pack 3
I have the TCMD.INI file in my TCMD12 directory.
I have the TCMD.INI file in my TCMD11 directory.

Code:
echo %_ininame
returns

Code:
C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD12\TCMD.INI

I can repro it too. FWIW, here is my server's session log.

Code:

The problem is that your creaky old mail server doesn't understand SSL.
I'll have to add a fallback option for aged servers.

It's definitely not TCMD!

So turn on SSL! (At least you apparently have the option; some others have
mail servers that are apparently > 10 years old and don't even recognize
it.)

SSL/SMTP is certainly not the norm. It's the first time in 6 years
I've seen a client request it. And my RoadRunner smtp server doesn't
recognize it either:

Code:
Connecting to mail server.
Connected.

Yes, and that's why most email clients give you the choice of whether or not
to use SSL in their account settings. I guess it's time for YAID: yet
another ini directive.

Hmm. Was there some way we were supposed to know that SSL was now
required? Now that I knew, I changed the port number to the value my
mail server uses for SSL processing, and SENDMAIL works (I'm still using
the version of TCMD that gave me trouble before). And I figured I might
as well configure Thunderbird to use an SSL connection as well, which
also works now.

As a result, my SENDMAIL script quit working again, since I had set the
Internet configuration in TCC for SSL. I just updated the script to
include "/SSL=0" in the command line if the port setting is the value my
mail server uses for SSL.
