i found this:

http://www.isdsl.net/smtp/rbl-dom-faq.html

Thank you for your help..contacting my ISP to see what the problem could be.

I am having a problem with i think MercuryC  if i create a auto-reply (AREPLY.PM) it works perfectly for local notifications.

But if it tries to send non-local Notifications i get this error..

Network read failure after RCPT with 196.26.208.190550 Your message does not conform to RFC2822 standard

the RFC2822 Standard is my problem and i think this is why.

There is nothing wrong here since a blank MAIL FROM address is a completely legal address.  A mail server will use this address when sending notifications to ensure that it does not create a loop if it bounces.

You really need to do a MercuryC session log to find out what it finds invalid.

the reason i thought it was the blank email address, was if i insert a address in the <> place manually it works and the email is send. Could it be my ISP maybe?

Here are the last 2 session logs.

08:42:36.515: 

 the socket read timeouts only happen with the auto-reply.

Thank you for helping

i looked at the post you made on 8: Socket read timeout just in case it would solve the problem.

http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/1112.aspx

 MTU was set to 1500, Since im on a DSL line i changed it to 1492 tested again still have the same error

the reason i thought it was the blank email address, was if i insert a

address in the <> place manually it works and the email is send.

Could it be my ISP maybe?

Yes but it also may be that you timeout setting is too low.  Increase the 30 seconds to something more like 200-300 seconds to see what happens. Notice it's not hanging on the MAIL FROM: address, it is hanging on the RCPT TO: address.  It might be verifying the address.
