#31 POP3 before SMTP not working

[codefighta]

I am calling blat like this:

blat somefile.txt -to me@me.com -subject "Test mail" -server srvIPAddress -f sender@address.com -u theUn -pw thePw -serverPOP3 srvIPAddress -pu theUn -ppw thePw -debug

Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption (build : Feb 25 2007 12:06:19)

Are your login userid and password correct?

The SMTP server does not require AUTH LOGIN.
Are you sure server supports AUTH?
>>>putline>>> MAIL FROM:<sender@address.com>
Error: Connection to server was dropped.
The SMTP server does not like the sender name.
Have you set your mail address correctly?
connection::put_data() unexpected error from send(): 10053
Error: Error sending data.
Error: Connection to server was dropped.

It does not seem to try to log into the POP3 server firt. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Is the first part of that log coming from your POP3 server or from the SMTP server? It appears to be from your SMTP server, which would indicate to me that you gave a bad POP3 server name/address to use. When Blat cannot connect to a POP3 server, it won't use POP3 access before attempting to access the SMTP server.

Chip,

Thanks for getting back to me. In this test the pop and smtp servers have the same address (in any mail client for example I simply have to give the domain name). The host I was trying to use required that (for security reasons) that any client firts log onto pop before it would allow sending via smtp.

Thanks

I added a snippet of code to check if you gave a POP3 host name, and to use the SMTP host if you did not. The code says:

If you gave a POP3 userid or POP3 password
if you did not give a POP3 host name/address
use the SMTP server as the POP3 server.

If you have a chance, please test this. It can be downloaded from my home account:
