[PLUG] OpenSMTPD RFC 2822 Error

[Casey Bralla via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I'm building an OpenSMTPD mailer server in a virtualbox test environment.  The test environment has a Bind9 DNS service running that recognizes XYZ.com as a valid domain.  The test OpenSMTPD mail server is listed in the DNS as the mail server for that domain.

I'm at the initial testing phase, but getting an RFC 2822 error.  As far as I can tell, my message is RFC 2822 compliant, but OpenSMTPD seems to disagree.

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?  Here is my test sequence:

telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

subject: Test
This is a test eMail.
.
550 5.7.1 Delivery not authorized, message refused: Message is not RFC 2822 compliant

The logs don't add any additional detail about the error.

As far as I can tell, RFC 2822 mandates a "date:" and "From: " field in the message data block.  I think I've got those present.  However, OpenSMTPD is notoriously persnickety about following the RFCs.

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?

TIA!

respectfully DEMAND that you immediately delete it and inform the sender
that you have received it in error.  Then, just to be safe, you should
reformat your hard drive, shave your head, renounce all material
possessions (which are really controlling your life anyway), and join an
end-of-times cult somewhere.  Once there, you must reconsider all the
terrible choices you've made in your life, and promise never to confuse
"sex" with "gender" again.  Of course, this assumes you have already
come to terms with your inherent whiteness, AND that you have learned
the lyrics to The Internationale. "Arise, wretched of the earth!  Arise,
convicts of hunger..."

We sincerely hope you are able to get your medication stabilized and no
longer have that recurring dream where you're alone in a large crowd,
standing naked in a vat of chocolate Yoo-hoo.  BTW, Yoo-hoo really is an
underrated beverage.  It’s chocolatey, yet suprisingly refreshing. Pick
up a 6-pack today, and tell your friends!
