Cannot get the sample email scrip that comes with v.7 to work. It keeps reporting the following error message

The following error occured: 501 >: malformed address: > may not follow This macro demonstrates how to send Email & Files using the SMTPSendMail command.

What are you entering in reponse to the prompt for To Email address?

Include one or more email addresses, separated by semicolons (;)

example: [email protected];[email protected]
-----------------------
I just used the sample email script with no problems. Received email sent to myself almost instantly. I did not include an attachment.

Aha

I think it was my server that was blocking the email when relaying it as it was "from" an address that doesn't exist. Seems to work fine now.

Thanks for your help Bob
