Hi,

I get this when I check a smtp server:
Address=195.86.128.62:25, open=1, res=0, err=0, connecttime=0.002863,
totaltime=1.153169, banner='501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments
' (45 bytes)

Other smtp servers are working fine.  This is the smtp server of the ISP.

How can I find out what the exact conversation is between my hobbit
server and the smtp server ?
Hi Stef

the default SMTP test sequence is in ~server/etc/bb-services :

[smtp]
   send "mail\r\nquit\r\n"
   expect "220"
   options banner
   port 25
I know, but that does not help me.  Connecting to port 25 of the telnet server 
is working.  The commands mail and quit are giving an error on all smtp 
servers I tried.  Even on the ones that are green in hobbit.
I just want to know if I can find out exactly what's the communication between 
the smtp server and the hobbit server so I can see what's going wrong.
