          We've been using the MailBee SMTP object for a number of years within a PowerBuilder application. We've recently started having problems where an error is reported as it attempts to send mail through our Exchange server, and yet the mail is still sent. I currently have the application checking for errors, because if the mail is not sent, there is no point in the application continuing.

 Here is the relevant part of the log file generated this morning when this problem occurred:

          I should reiterate that the e-mail *was* actually sent when the error occurred.

          Version 5.2 is way too old, and it might have issues which are fixed in current version, so try if the latest one works for you.

          Apparently the license I bought in 2006 has been expired, so I am downloaded the new version and am using the trial period to see if it fixes the problem before renewing.

 It looks like the problem still exists, however. I'm using it in a program that sends several e-mails, and it looks like there were error messages a couple of times, even though the e-mails were actually sent successfully:

          According to the logs, 30 seconds timeout is exceeded, and it's either caused by erroneous behavior of SMTP server, or the sending process takes too long. You can try increasing SMTP timeout value to, say, 100 seconds and see if that helps.

          Thanks, I hadn't looked carefully enough at the timestamps to notice that. :)

 I increased the timeout and it seems to have taken care of the problem - it looks like it takes just a few more seconds sometimes.
 
 We decided to go ahead and renew anyway, so we can keep using the latest version.
 
 Thanks!
