3142.0. "SMTP-Gwy and "mta_error = 70"" by RULLE::KLASSON (Sven-Olof Klasson @GOO) Wed Feb 26 1997 13:54

Hi,

On a customer system SMTP-Gateway (X2.1-3) could not deliver a message from
Internet to X.400. The non-deliver report created by SMTP-GW says

	"mta_transmit_msg:  mta_error = 70"

What does code 70 mean? 
Are these error codes documentent somewhere?

Here is more information:

The user (klas.molin) sent a message within CC-mail
Message sent from CC-mail -> Isocore-Gwy -> Mailbus400 -> SMTP-Gw -> Internet
Recipient was a person at company dti.com.
The message could not be delivered at dti.com. A non-delivery was sent back
to our customer.
When the non-delivery message came back to SMTP-GW it generated the 
non-delivery with "mta_error = 70". SMTP-GW could not deliver the non-deliver
report. A copy of this message was sent to the system managers account on a
HP system.

When he attempted to forward the mail to his mail address on Mailbus400 
(HP -> SMTP-GW -> Mailbus400) the SMTP-Gateway generated another non-deliver
message with "mta_error = 70".
He had to save the message to a file on the HP-system, and then send the file
as a attachment to a mail message to transfer it to Mailbus400.

Node: hugin & karon - is the firewall (one system with two nodenames)
      orion - The Digital-UNIX system with SMTP-GW
      hermes - the HP system.

Below is a dump of the message.

Thanks,
Sven-Olof Klasson, CSC Sweden

Hmm, they don't look like O/R addresses to me. Are they using X.500 for 
address conversion? Have they got the Translations attributes the wrong way 
round?

Anything in mail.log?

This looks like valid O/R addresses to me. What do you think is wrong?

> Are they using X.500 for address conversion? 

Yes

> Have they got the Translations attributes the wrong way round?

I'll check if there is anything wrong with this specific entry in X.500

3142.3An O/R address isn't a stringZUR01::ASHGGrahame Ash @RLETue Mar 04 1997 08:0011

Well, of course it depends on what tool you're using the dump the message - it 
looks like the output from xtua, but perhaps it isn't?

Compare the Originator and Recipient Names to the MTS-ID and the Trace 
records. What you have displayed is the "human-readable" form of the o/r 
address - the String representation. In the message itself, an O/R address has 
to consist of separate strings: ADMD, Country etc.

Hi,

Ok, I agree. I dont know what tool the customer used to decode this message.
Here you will see the O/R address in "normal format".

Here is the non-deliver message that was sent by SMTP-Gateway. This is a
copy that was sent to the system manager on a HP system (node hermes).

Below that is the X.500 entry for user Klas Molin.

Any idea where I can look up what "mta_error = 70" means?

Regards,
Sven-Olof

That error message corresponds to 

MHS_INVALID_OBJECT_CLASS

meaning that the message that was about to be handed over to the MTA was
not explicitly either an IPM, Probe or Report i.e. the message created by the
gateway was not of a valid type.


Are the illegaly formed linebreaks in the bodypart boundaries of the
non-delivery message that the gateway is non-delivering a transcription error,
or is the gateway being presented with illegal MIME by [email protected]?


(i.e. the following lines are badly formed)

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
		Boundary="===================
=========_ _= 5111389(268)"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT

--=======================
=====_ _= 5111389(268)
Content-Type: text/plain




If this is not the problem, try reproducing the error with full trace enabled
on the SMTP Gateway.
