    Confirmation emails are begin created and attempted to be delivered. The ones that fail are with 555 5.5.2 syntax error. Confirmations have been successfully tested with yahoo and our local mail server. Confirmed failed mail server gmail & hotmail.

    MU Wordpress Server is running win2k3, apache 2.28, php 5.2.6, mysql 5.0.51b, MU Wordpress 2.6.

    snippet from mail server log:
    9/5/2008 3:34:03 PM - ( 315) MAIL FROM:<Law Blawgs <blawgs@ourdomain.edu>>
    9/5/2008 3:34:03 PM - ( 315) 250 Sender "Law Blawgs <blawgs@ourdomain.edu" OK...

    This last line looks wrong to me shouldn't the sender address be closed with ">"

    When sending in this format the gmail server responds:
    /5/2008 3:34:07 PM - [ 316] Fatal SMTP error relaying the message to server gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com: 72.14.205.27: 555 5.5.2 Syntax error. e17si1588155qba.1

    Hotmail responds 501 invalid address.

    Does anyone know why the messages are being created this way and how to correct it?

    If anyone else has the above problem I would suggest using Cimy Swift SMTP plugin, worked for me. After reading to many forum postings on email issues I think Cimy Swift SMTP is the answer on windows boxes.

    Avaliable http://www.cimatti.it/blog/cimy-wordpress-plugins/cimy-swift-smtp/ works with WP 2.6.1
