SMTP Email Send Message Error

[Fuquey]

When I using SMTP Email Send Message in Labview 8.0 to send an email message and I get a error message as bellow:

Error 16500 occurred at 500 5.5.1 Command unrecognized: "MIME-Version: 1.0"

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  (Hex 0x4074) 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized. For example, the command line might be too long.

Where the mistake and how to solve this error to send an email by Labview 8.0.

Thank you.

Can you give an example?

I did some digging around in the SMTP Email Send Message code and the MIME version 1.0 command is the first one issued to the server to set up the email communication, so it sounds like it might be a server problem. Try checking the server to make sure it is up and running okay and then try the VI again.

A couple of people have had this problem, and almost every time it is a server side issue. Let me know if this helps.

Dear Tyler H.

1. Can you give an example of SMTP?
2. How to check the server?
3. How I know that server are running okay?
4. How to set up the email communication?
5. Can Labview 8.0 send SMS to handset?

Thank you.

A couple of things. If you don't know what mail server you are using, you definitely need to get a hold of a network administator to see which one you use. Checking the mail server is a thing specific to the mail server itself, in other words there is no specific way that applies to them all. The example below requirs FDS 7.0 so if you don't have full developement system, it won't work. The handset question would be a great one to ask in another thread. I suggest also searching our website for information on that one as well. Hope that answers your questions.

What is this error message mean:

Error 16500 occurred at 500 5.5.1 Command unrecognized: "MIME-Version: 1.0"

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  (Hex 0x4074) 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized. For example, the command line might be too long.

Thank you.

From what I have found this error means that the server does not recognize the command. This means that there is probally something going wrong on the server's end since MIME is a communication protocol that almost all mail servers recognize. You might want to look into the mail server and verify that MIME is an appropriate protocol to use (it should be).

What should I write for the "mail server" text constant in SMTP?

[TheDillo]

A valid URL to the mail server name.  This can be a IP Address or a network computer name.  If you have an SMTP service installed on your local computer, you can use localhost.

Hope this helps!
