recv() problem:(

I've reade Beej's guide to network programming and i've decided to write a mail sende. I want it to use a local polish server which ip number is 213.180.130.20. The whole idea goes like this:
1)i connect to the ip number on port 25 and receive it's welcoming message (date and that stuff)
2)i ask the user to input his email and destination email
3)i ask the user to input the data
4)after that the program tries to send the message.

And this is the place whrere everything goes wrong...after i send the first part of message i cannor recv() but the server should respond.

The server is 100% good as i've chceked it in telnet.

here's the source code:

Code:

the error messages are in polish so don't bother with them:)

I think you need a new line after each command.

that's not the only error...i've done what u said and it still doesn't work...
waiting for othe suggestions:)

The easiest way to debug network protocol issues is to download Ethereal and see what your client is doing differently compared to a working client. Maybe the problem is related to the use of scanf. Print out each command before sending it.

Each command you send to the server should be ended with \r\n
Check out RFC821

You also are just receiving 99 bytes of the welcome message...It could be longer than that..
Set a timeout for the socket, and recv() in a while loop to be sure to receive the entire message.

ok i'll fix that but the program is working now. thanks for all your help anonytmouse and knutso. bye
