[Zope] KM|netNews MailHost SMTP error

[Joshua Brauer]

I ran into this too... The solution is to modify KM|NetNews.

If you go to the product Management screen of the Control Panel and select

 KMnetNews then  KMArticleStore 

You'll see the top DTML Method is "Add Article"... Right at the end of this is the sendmail form that has "contentbot" as the "From" line... Change that to contentbot@wherever.com and it should work....


Or, if you want to run multiple KM|Net Newses on your site add a property to the KMArticleStore main property sheet. Mine is called  article_notify_from and the AddArticle Method has a <dtml-var article_notify_from> for the "From" line so I can change it for different article stores....

I've installed the KM|netNews product and everything is working correctly EXCEPT everytime I enter a new article and click "submit" (which should then email the person in the "article_notify" property of the KMArticlestore) I get a SMTP 501 error: sender's email must contain a valid domain.

Since it's saying "sender's email" it's a problem parsing what was received by the form field, right? UGH. I've looked everywhere, even hard-coded the info - still doesn't work. Can anyone PLEASE help me?
