Bug in Nokia E61i SMTP Client Software
I was troubleshooting a strange problem recently. A brand new Nokia E61i smartphone could receive but not send any e-mail. The server configuration has not changed and other mail clients are working fine, so it must be the server.
It is very basic and straightforward configuration – a FreeBSD server running Qmail with SPAMCONTROL patch as SMTP server and BincIMAP as IMAP4 server. This configuration worked perfectly until the client asked to add this shiny new Nokia phone to the mix.
Receiving e-mail via IMAP4 did not pose any problems – it just worked (sans the self-signed SSL certificate which I figured out later) but sending mail via SMTP protocol just did not work at all.
