RE: 550 Error
Hello Bob,
Unfortunately not definitively, No. Is the X'd out information, the sender or the receiver? If I had to guess, I would state that the reciever is the one generating the
message. BUT even with that you will need a trace of the conversation, because of the complaint. The question is are you sending a NULL character or NOT (is the
receiver mis-perceiving the data stream). Then if you are the question becomes, does the RFC prohibit this, or is the sender being to restrictive or incorrect.
Thank you for your post.
