Dear Avleen<br>
Thank you for your response.<br>
<br>
I tried as you suggested. I sent a mail through the telnet session at<br>
port 25. Everything went well until I finished it, the last line said<br>
<br>
451 Temporary local problem - please try later<br>
<br>
the mainlog said<br>
temporarily rejected after DATA<br>
<br>
and so said the rejectlog.<br>
<br>
I can manually create the folders -- and it will more likely work. But<br>
I'd prefer this to be automated.<br>
<br>
Anything else I should look into?<br>
