#107 emailrelay does not send messages introduces by emailrelay-submit
I' m fetching messages with a program called getmail that can either put the messages in Mailboxes or pass them to a MDA (mail distribution agent via stdout-stdin. As MDA, I use emailrelay-submit that places the messages in /var/spool/emailrelay.
Unfortunately, emailrelay is unable to send them. here is what it says in yhe envelope.bad file
ml@spitfire:/home/marc# cat /var/spool/emailrelay/emailrelay.14032.709829.2.envelope.bad
X-MailRelay-Format: #2821.5
X-MailRelay-Content: 7bit
X-MailRelay-From: ruchaux@lobelle.net
X-MailRelay-ToCount: 1
X-MailRelay-To-Remote: regis.lobelle@gmail.com

X-MailRelay-MailFromAuthOut:
X-MailRelay-End: 1
X-MailRelay-Reason: peer disconnected: ssl read
X-MailRelay-ReasonCode:
ml@spitfire:/home/marc#
The instructions to getmail are as follow
[destination]
type=MDA_external
path=/usr/local/sbin/emailrelay-submit
arguments=("--from=ruchaux@lobelle.net","--spool-dir=/var/spool/emailrelay","regis.lobelle@gmail.com")
which means the
/usr/local/sbin/emailrelay-submit --from=ruchaux@lobelle.net --spool-dir=/var/spool/emailrelay regis.lobelle@gmail.com
The messages received by emailrelay as server are forwarded without problem by emailrelay as client.
Here is the configuration in emailrlay.conf
as-server
client auth /etc/usr/local/emailrelay/emailrelay.auth
client-tls-certificate /etc/usr/local/ssl/certs/emailrelay.pem
client-tls-connection
client-tls-server-name smtp.mailfence.com

What is wrong or missing in the enveloppe ? How can I add it ?
Thanks for your help

The error message from the remote server says "transaction failed ... (223E)", so perhaps you could ask them if 223E is an error code and if so what it means.
Please could you compare the SMTP dialogue in the successful store-and-forward and the unsuccessful submit-and-forward, particularly the MAIL-FROM trailing options (BODY=... AUTH=...)
