Comment Sorry for this, as it is an issue with the SMTP support which has some incomplete documentation in regards to the TEDECLARE MAILPROFILE.

The key here is that the userid needs to be your e-mail address using the format:

Friendly Text<EmailAddress>

As in:

<TEDECLARE MAILPROFILE
           service="smtp"
           smtpserver="mail.mycompany.com"
           userid="Customer Support<support@mycompany.com>">

Comment Further errors were encountered, handled over e-mail...SMTP server responded with a "missing hello" error.

Subsequently, a new version of the email library was acquired and implemented in ftp://ftp.ieinc2.com/pub/surfer/t2_0_5F.zip (this includes both a new ielua.exe and a new see32.dll which is the email smtp library).

In addition, the SMTP server was reconfigured to enable forwarding of messages originating from the Screensurfer server.
