error '8004020f' SMTP Log

[ayush patel]

Hi everyone,

I am writing ASP code to send email using SMTP.I am getting error '8004020f' at .Send. this seems to be a common error.

my SMTP server relays to anonymous email addresses.there is no firewall or proxy set up that can stop these mails to be sent.

Infact i have seen the SMTP LOG FILE and (i dont know exactly what it says)i think it is sending the mail.see below

this is my SMTP LOG FILE.


127.0.0.1, aaaaaa, 9/9/2008, 15:50:36, SMTPSVC1, AAA-AAA, 127.0.0.1, 0, 15, 57, 259, 0, HELO, -, aaaaaa,
127.0.0.1, aaaaaa, 9/9/2008, 15:50:36, SMTPSVC1, AAA-AAA, 127.0.0.1, 0, 18, 57, 254, 0, MAIL, -, FROM: <[e-mail]>,
127.0.0.1, aaaaaa, 9/9/2008, 15:50:36, SMTPSVC1, AAA-AAA, 127.0.0.1, 0, 97, 56, 289, 0, RCPT, -, TO: <[e-mail]>

but still i can see error '8004020f' message on the screen.

can someone tell me looking at the log file if mails are being sent and what might be the reason for the error to occur.

Thanks,
Ayush.

Ok. I think some of the email addresses out of bunch are getting rejected.

how can i make smtp to ignore these email addresses?

How can I make smtp server ignore invalid email addresses. I am sending emails to a number of people at a time. one or two are bound to be fake addresses. how can I make SMTP server run anyway without showing error message on screen.

Thanks,
Ayush

Hi there,

Use a Try...Catch block to send the emails.

I used try catch block and it has done the job but there is a new problem now.

another error says server rejected one or more emial addresses because there are too many recipients. what can be done for this.

I have posted another message for the same problem.

I've merged these threads for you Ayush.

Hey guys I have got the solution. I just increased the "Limit number of recipients" to whatever limit I wanted.this option is found under SMTP properties in messages tab.

Din't realise the solution was so simple.
