Try it within the MAIL> utility before trying it all in one line.

And try rto send a bodypart (line1 line2 line3 etc). An empty bodypart
may be the cause here.

If you got no error message, it means that the MAIL utility succesfully
called the SMTP% foreign protocol and gave it the message. That is all
it says. The foreign protocol then builds temporary files and submits
them to the SMTP queue.

There is a log file in the TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON directory for the server
and this should have an entry for your message.

http://www.vaxination.ca/vms/tcpip_smtp_systartup.com  gives you some
list of logicals you can set to increase logging levels.
