Your SMTP MAIL address is not formatted properly.

Beside being syntactically correct, the SMTP envelope address should =20
match one of the email address you have defined in ZO=CB.

To summarize:

(1) THe SMTP authentication should reflect the identity and signature =20=

(username and password) as defined in ZO=CB. This implies that =20
authentication must be enabled in ZO=CB itself.

(2) The SMTP MAIL envelope address should match one of the email =20
address you have defined in ZO=CB. This is usually done for you by your =20=

email client. In the case of something like procmail or such, you need =20=

to configure it yourself.

Here are the relevant chunk of code dealing with this circus:

SZSMTPMail handles the SMTP MAIL command:

http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/file/ZOE/Frameworks/SZSMTP/SZSMTPMail.java

Line 101 raises your first exception as it cannot parse the email =20
address provided.

If the email address is syntactically correct, it get passed to =20
SZSMTPSession.setSender():

http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/file/ZOE/Frameworks/SZSMTP/=20
SZSMTPSession.java

Which tries to match the provided email address with an account defined =20=

in ZO=CB (line 238).

Cheers,

R.
