Hi,
I get this when I check a smtp server: Address=195.86.128.62:25, open=1, res=0, err=0, connecttime=0.002863, totaltime=1.153169, banner='501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments ' (45 bytes)
Other smtp servers are working fine. This is the smtp server of the ISP.
How can I find out what the exact conversation is between my hobbit server and the smtp server ?

Hi Stef
the default SMTP test sequence is in ~server/etc/bb-services :
[smtp] send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options banner port 25

Hi Stef
the default SMTP test sequence is in ~server/etc/bb-services :
[smtp] send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options banner port 25 I know, but that does not help me. Connecting to port 25 of the telnet server is working. The commands mail and quit are giving an error on all smtp servers I tried. Even on the ones that are green in hobbit. I just want to know if I can find out exactly what's the communication between the smtp server and the hobbit server so I can see what's going wrong.
Stef
Perhaps the mailserver neeed a Helo/ehlo first?
This is what I have in my bb.services:
[smtp] send "ehlo\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options banner port 25

This is what the conversation looks like when I run telnet:
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25
Trying... Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Escape character is 'ÜÅ'. ehlo 220-Welcome to mailserver.domain.tld 220 mailserver.domain.tld (NT0234.04.fdc0aadd) ready for ESMTP transfer 501 Hostname expected. quit 221 Goodbye Ä62.119.162.107Å Connection closed by foreign host.

As you can see, the mail server returns 250 and not 220. Also, it takes a few seconds before the 220 SMTP appears. Maybe hobbit is too fast ??

This time I get an other error:

Remember, this was the "old" error:

Most likely, it complains because Hobbit fires off SMTP commands before waiting for the SMTP server's greeting. Technically, this is in violation of the SMTP protocol, and some newer servers complain about this.
Try removing the "send" part from the [smtp] section in ~hobbit/server/etc/bb-services

Stef
If you get the
220 SMTP
back, that means that the mailserver on the other side is running.

If I check it manually, I have to wait some time before I get a reponse from the server. Is there a timeout value I can specify so hobbit waits some seconds before issuing a command to the smtp server?

No. Ideally, you would configure a series of "expect-send" strings, and have Hobbit wait for one string before sending the next. That would require some restructuring of the network tester, though.
Henrik
You are probably right, but I don't know about any parameter to specify a timeout in this case .

No. If you just remove the "send" bit, Hobbit will still use the "expect" definition and check that the SMTP server sends back a "220" OK-message that it is ready.
The only reason Hobbit sends the "MAIL\r\nQUIT\r\n" string is because sendmail complains if you connect to it, but don't send anything.
