Message for Norman:
I had been happily sending emails from Actinic via the standard 'out of the box' SMTP method for many months with no problems, then suddenly this functionality within Actinic stopped working for me - each time I tried to send a standard customer email I got 'The server returned invalid or unrecognised response'.
Not being able to resolve this problem by consulting my host or ISP, I turned to your 'Sendmail' patch.
This now allows me to send emails, but only of a certain length. In other words, I can now send an email to a customer from Actinic with say a subject line of 'Test' and a body text of 'Test' no problem, but if I try to send the standard 'Payment received', 'Order shipped' etc. emails they won't go and I get the 'The server returned invalid or unrecognised response' message again.
But if I chop the email down to about one-third, it gets sent OK.
I was just wondering if you had heard of this happening before with anybody else, and had any solution to it? Is there a limit on the message length with this method?
I know you have provided this patch free of charge, which is damed decent of you, and I have no right to expect support from you on it, but any thoughts if possible would be most welcome. It is most annoying having to cut and paste my emails into Outlook!!
p.s. if it is of any help, my host did not originally have the Mail::Mailer module installed, but they put it in for me.
