This article was previously published under Q137044

SYMPTOMS

While you review the SMTPGATE.LOG file, the following is displayed when messages sent and received:

[tx] 354 start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>

CAUSE

This message is recorded when the gateway machine begins sending a message. The gateway is acknowledging that it will send a <CRLF>.<CRLF> when it finishes sending the message.

This is expected behavior in the SMTP environment and the Mail Gateway to SMTP is adhering to RFC822.
