I was getting some false positives regarding the TLS encryption. In the “Send Mail to all SMTP variations…” script, in the “Let’s SEND EMAIL!” section, there’s a line:

Else If[$vSMTP_SSL = "TSL" //FM 11 only]

but since the value of $vSMTP_SSL was “TLS” it was skipping over the contents, showing no errors, and assuming the were succesful emails.

Hi Karen,
Sorry about the oversight; an overzealous autoentry ‘helper’ was filtering out the string “mail.” from the domain field. Thus reducing “gmail.com” to “gcom”. Not very useful, and has been fixed in v5.2.
Enjoy!

Thanks for clarifying this.

Hopefully with a future upgrade they will allow angle brackets. For now I think it’s best to play it safe and stick to email address only with no name.

Thanks for this, one more for the knowledgebase. Just thought I’d pass on another thing: 1506 seems to be a “catch all”, we recently found a customer getting 1506 error when it turned out that their exchange server wasn’t allowing relaying. Wish Filemaker’s error reporting included a transcript of the conversation with the SMTP Server….

Great info Lee! Your “interrogation” file helped me fix an issue I was having with finding the correct settings. Big time saver!
