No one responded to my post at first, so after some trial and error, I stumbled upon the solution. While I did it manually at the time, Jeff Hobbs suggested the same thing and how it could be done easily via the TDK. The trick is one of the packages that smtp relies on is not on the server where you see this error. You can check this manually, or if you have TDK, use the Scan feature of tclapp. It will resolve all dependencies and present you with all the packages that you need to have. I don't have the source code with me now to give you the list of the required packages but check to see if you have Trf, mime, smtp, and md5 (and maybe a few others) on the server where you see the problem. If you can't resolve it, email me and I will send you the list.

Since you've done the work tracking the problem down, can you send error reports to those packages that use commands from other packages they do not [package require] ? If each bit of code [package require]s all the packages that provide any of the commands it uses, then users will get error messages like "can't find package foo" instead of cryptic things like reported in this thread. -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division | | donald.porter(a)nist.gov Information Technology Laboratory | | http://math.nist.gov/~DPorter/ NIST | |______________________________________________________________________|

Sure, I would be glad to this weekend. I should make the disclaimer that what I did was not very scientific. I was simply scanning all the source code in tcllib to see who was doing package require/provide. As I recall, what made it complex was that there was conditional package require's. So, that may account for silent error messages that slip by. Here is the original thread in case anyone is interested: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/237d7ff67aa4f223/73d5a442066714e5?q=smtp+starpacks&rnum=1#73d5a442066714e5

This will cause it to output to stderr all the SMTP traffic. -- Pat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/ To reply, rot13 the return address or read the X-Address header.

I am using ActiveTcl so I am pretty sure I have all the required stuff AND it did work when I tested and once when I set it up in cron (all on the same machine). "Somehow" it just stopped. I am using the same ActiveTcl build across 3 servers and only this one is having the issue. I will investigate some more though. Robert |
