    borg - 2012-03-21

    Hello there,

    I am new to this Forum and to Borg Calendar.

    Before I start I wanna tell ya, that Borg Calendar is a really good software
    and I appreciate your work. I searched a long time for a independent calendar
    with email reminder and a fresh look. It's really hard, when you don't want to
    use one of the big ones, like Outlookk, Google Calendar or Sunbird. But I
    think you know that. :)

    O.K. now my problem :) I hope you can help me. I can't set up the email
    reminder to send mails from web.de or gmx.com. It always tells me this error
    message

    "com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 550-Requested action not taken:
    mailbox unavailable

    550 Sender address is not allowed."

    Doesn't care if I change the server from 25, 465 or 587 or with or without
    TLS.

    Do you have an idea to solve this problem?

    with best regards

    borg

    It is likely that your email server is rejecting the email address in the
    "From". Borg is currently coded to fill in the From address with the same
    address that you are sending to.

    So, if you connect to web.de and try to send an email that says To:
    xxx.hotmail.com From: xxx.hotmail.com, web.de might not be happy with that.

    It could also be something else. Perhaps if you can control what is in the
    From, you can fix it.

    I think I will create a version of Borg that let's you specify different From
    and To addresses. Then it may be possible to figure this out and get it
    working.

    Mike
