Hi Ray,<br>
<br>
To follow the SMTP protocol, I believe you need to add a "data" command<br>
after your "rcpt to", then you can enter the "subject:" line (and any<br>
other headers), followed by a blank line, then the body of the message.<br>
<br>
I think postfix is complaining that it doesn't know what the "SUBJECT:<br>
xxx" command is...<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
