Description of the issue

I get an error when trying to send mail via the built in smtp client (script step) Send mail directly to smtp server.

My mail server returns: 555 syntax error in MAIL FROM parameters\r\n ( on the server side log)

the FROM parameter that FMGo uses is:
MAIL FROM:<martin@kvapil.se> RET=FULL ENVID=_DATABASE_DATEFORMAT="\1270"_LAYOUT="\1271"_NAME="\1272"_RECORDS="\1273"_TIMEFORMAT="\1274"/_

the only part i add in filemaker is the martin@kvapil.se the rest comes from fmgo.

The problem here is that ENVID value contains non-ASCII or "=" symbols which are prohibited for "esmtp-value", it should be encoded as "xtext" as described at <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3461#section-4>, <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3461#section-4.4>.

Expected result

Noting sent

Actual result

email sent

Workaround

use a different not so strict smtp server
