501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax

Hi,
My Exchange Environment contains
Two Exchange 2010 SP3 CAS/HUB servers with WNLB configured
Two Exchange 2010 SP3 Mailbox servers with DAG
External mail is send via a smarthost - Sophos Email Appliance
I have an application that sends mails to internal distribution lists, this lists contain contacts with external addresses.
This is used for 10 distribution lists and delivers mails to the external contacts for 9.
The one that is not delivering gives the following error in Exchange Tracking Log
501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax
I have tried to recreate the contact but no joy.
I can mail the contact from my Outlook profile.
I can mail the contact from the account stated in my Application via Outlook.
Anyone seem this error before ?

Hello,
Since Outlook works fine, I think the issue is more related to the configuration of the APP.
Thanks,
Simon Wu

Why am I suddenly receiving the message: 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 501-"5.1.8 Bad sender's system address" I am only getting it for Mozilla Thunderbird

In the past three days, whenever I send a message, it does not go through. Instead, I get the message: 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 501- "5.1.8 Bad sender's system address". I tried downloading the newest version of Thunderbird but it did not work. I do not receive this message when using other software.

I had the look that you suggested. As far as I can tell there are no problems with the user name. Maybe I should check with my email company, Cogeco?

"501 Bad address syntax" Squirrel Mail message

I am getting "501 Bad address syntax" when attempting to use a now once again freshly installed version of Mac OS X 10.4 server on an xServe.
I have installed the server completely from scratch to attempt to solve this problem about a week ago, and it was fine, until today. Now... when a user attempts to send a mail through www mail, they get the "501 Bad address syntax" Squirrel Mail message.
I have installed mailbfr, and use it religiously, but it does not seem to be able to fix this problem.
Is this something that I need to make changes to the httpd configs (or Apple GUI) or something I need to do to mail configs?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Chris

UTL.MAIL error ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Address Syntax Error in

Hi,
I am new to the forum so please excuse if I post incorrectly without conforming to the standards.
We need to send mails using the UTL.MAIL package and have installed them on the database.
Whenever I am trying to send an email I am getting the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Address Syntax Error in
[email protected]
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 654
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 671
ORA-06512: at line 2
The test code which I am running is as follows:
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => 'test <[email protected]>',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL test subject',
message => 'UTL_MAIL test body');
END;
I have tried different combinations:
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => 'test "<[email protected]>"',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL test subject',
message => 'UTL_MAIL test body');
END;
even tried
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL test subject',
message => 'UTL_MAIL test body');
END;
Everytime I am getting the same error.
This seems to be working with an exchange mail server but never on the SMTP server.
In the SMTP server logs the sender address is not having the angular brackets <> unlike the other mails which are being sent over.
It seems that the SMTP server is pretty strict and the SMTP admin will not change any settings on the server.
The oracle version is as follows
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Could you please help me out with a solution.
Some how the angular brackets are geting stripped off (which UTL MAIL package generally does), Is there any way in which I can include the angular brackets.

I dislike UTL_MAIL - clunky and poor abstraction interface, and not well written.
Had a look at the code. It does this:
WHILE (ALL_RCPTS IS NOT NULL) LOOP
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(MAIL_CONN,'<' || GET_ADDRESS(ALL_RCPTS) || '>');
END LOOP;The GET_ADDRESS() function process the ALL_RCPTS parameter, returns the 1st address from it, and updates the (in/out) parameter with the remaining string.
SQL> var address varchar2(200);
SQL> exec :address := '<[email protected]>,[email protected]';
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line( 'get_address='||UTL_MAIL.GET_ADDRESS(:address)||' address='||:address );
get_address=[email protected] address=[email protected]
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line( 'get_address='||UTL_MAIL.GET_ADDRESS(:address)||' address='||:address );
get_address=[email protected] address=
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> The address is explicitly surrounded by brackets as per the RFC. So that is what your SMTP server should see.
If not - perhaps then our UTL_MAIL versions do not match. Cannot recall from what version I pulled and unwrapped the UTL_MAIL package code I have.
Personally though, I've ceased using UTL_MAIL a while back. It lacks in may respects. I have written my own mail package that supports multiple attachment, complex Mime formatting, attachments of 20+ MB in size, and so on - running on the UTL_SMTP interface (that provides the transport layer for sending mail). And for issues like you are facing, I suggest considering using UTL_SMTP directly.

HT204150 "bad address syntax"..??

I have one contact that for some reason, no matter how often I edit the contact info to reflect a proper email, once I try and use the address, the email bounces back with the following:
     Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
     Recipient address: @
     Reason: bad address syntax
For whatever reason, it believes I'm only sending it to '@' and it never reads the actual email address that I've entered for this contact. It may not even be part of the Contacts, but just an auto-fill function..
Anyone have any ideas on how to delete this '@' address association with my specific contact?
Thanks
Alain

MSEXchange not rejecting bad email addresses

I have written a specialized email application In ACCES 2010 for my department. At first I couldn't send email outside our domain so the server folks turned on relay and gave me a static IP address. However, now the mail server does not reject bad email
addresses unless I leave off everything to the right of the @ sign. Example my real address is
[email protected]. But if I change something in the address, such as
[email protected] I don't get an error message back from the mail server, error handling is ignored and it counts as being sent. This is true for emails going both inside and outside the domain.
It seems to me that something needs to be configured on the host, or I need to do something in my ap. (I'm no expert here.) The Send part of the code is an ACCESS 2010 function. (Mail server is MSExchange 2010.) If nothing is wrong it works great.

Hi,
Generally, when you send an email to an address that doesn't exist via OWA or Outlook, you will receive a NDR explaining that delivery has failed.
Please disable the app temporarily and check the result. If the issue disappears, there is something wrong with the app code. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office for Developers. I recommend you ask your question on our
Microsoft Office for Developers forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. For your convenience:

How to distingush delivery failure notices & bad email addresses

Hello, All:
Is there a standard for the format(content, subject, headers, etc) of delivery failure notices?
What would you do if you want to get the bad email address (Undelivery address) from the delivery failure notice? Is there a systematic way to get the bad email address instead of earching for the address string in the email?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, the exception SendFailedException only happens when any of the recipient addresses is detected to be invalid by the "Transport" during message submission. It is not exactly the same as the user email does not exists.
I have tried the SendFailedException and functions you suggested. The transport does not give this exception even though the recipent's address is not valid :(..
I think the JavaMail code passes the email message to the SMTP server, the SMTP deals with the actually sending. Therefore, JavaMail code can not get its hand on the invalid email addresses.
Thanks!

Sometimes it is as simple as checking the outgoing server setting and making sure that your username and password are correct.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.

The security update didn't break any of my email accounts and I access several with Mail that are not provided by my ISP.
Is this email account you were having problems sending messages with provided by your ISP - AT&T or other?
I have a .Mac account and I also access my employer provided POP account with Mail and although I have no problems sending messages with either account and associated SMTP server since both SMTP servers are authenticated and my ISP does not block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by my ISP on Port 25 as long as the SMTP server is authenticated, I use my ISP's SMTP server to send messages with both accounts when connected to my ISP at home.
