I don't know the effect of specifying your password in both places. (I believe the idea behind smtp_pass is so that it can be placed in a separate, protected file.) I would expect the loginname (user above) to include a domain, ie it's usually an email address. (Mine always have been.) I don't think suddenlink.net accepts mail; smtp.suddenlink.net does. I omit the port number 587 as it's the default. So I would have either: set smtp_pass="myPasswd" set smtp_url="smtp://mikemcclai...@suddenlink.net@smtp.suddenlink.net/" or: set smtp_url="smtp://mikemcclai...@suddenlink.net:mypas...@smtp.suddenlink.net/" > # set smtp_url="smtp://mikemcclain46:mypas...@suddenlink.net:465/" > # set smtp_url="smtp://mikemcclain46:mypas...@suddenlink.net:465" > #smtp.suddenlink.net::587 > #smtp_url="smtp://loginn...@smtp.server.net:587/" > set smtp_authenticators="plain" Seems ok from 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN below. > # set smtp_authenticators= > set envelope_from_address="mikemcclai...@suddenlink.net" > set use_envelope_from > > The commented lines above are things I tried that didn't work. > > This is a line from /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf that worked when I had > exim4 installed: > dc_smarthost='smtp.suddenlink.net::587' That looks ok. I get the response (using port 587): 250 STARTTLS ehlo axis.corp 250-omta04.suddenlink.net 250-HELP 250-XREMOTEQUEUE 250-ETRN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-PIPELINING 250-DSN 250-8BITMIME 250 SIZE 52428800 > /etc/mailname says this: > mikemcclain...@suddenlink.net /etc/mailname should only contain a domainname, not an address.
