Problem using SMTP server for FP forms. Was working fine but SMTP server was taken down. Now trying to use different SMTP server but getting the following error:
Error states: http://xxx - error #160005 Message. Bad response from SMTP host '###.###.###.###'. 501 Syntax error in FROM address.

This SMTP server is on a different subnet. Is this what is causing the problem? What needs to be done to correct it?
Thanks

The error message implies the SMTP server is rejecting due to the "From"
address.

Maybe you forgot to configure the SMTP server to accept mail from that web
server?

I resolved the problem by changing the web server's mail address. Apparently, the newer SMTP server I was using did not recognize the mail address as a valid email address (****@***.com). The mail address was not a problem for the older SMTP server.
Thanks
