As most of you already know there are a lot of bugs that prevent to send 8.1RC2 autosupport using an Exchange relay (2007 and 2010 but also 2003 as tested by myself).
And always as you know the 2240 FAS is shipped only with this DOT release!
This causes a lot embarrassment for us, ASP company, that have to say to the customer that us and them will not be able to receive their autosupport unlesse they install...a Sendmail (or some other Linux machine with STMP relays other than Exchange)...This is unacceptable and, let me say it, ridiculous in that environment where Exchange reigns...
Other source of embarrassment is due to the fact that to send an autosupport has always been a very easy action and now has become a nightmare due this silly bug that DOT does not end the message with CRLF.CRLF but LF (where's the programmer that forgot CR?!?)
To avoid any misunderstanding every fix and/or action has been done on the SMTP relays as from instructions...looking at its log the cause of bug appear clear...timeout on transmission for errors on format.
So: briefly. RC2 is supported and on the market since months...how much time do we have to wait again for a fix?
Thanks
