Hello. I want to send mail via SMTP. The server in question demands clients to connect encrypted and authenticate using SMTP-AUTH PLAIN. The server refuses unencrypted authentication and refuses to relay mail from unauthenticated connections.
I have the following in my .gnus.el: (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.myserver.tld" 25 nil nil))) (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.myserver.tld") and something like the following in .authinfo: machine smtp.myserver.tld login tobias password secret >From setting `smtpmail-debug-info' and `smtpmail-debug-verb' to `t' I see that Gnus doesn't even try to use TLS and authenticate (at least I interpret the following output to mean that): Sending... Sending via mail... 220 smtp.myserver.tld ESMTP Postfix 250-smtp.myserver.tld 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN 250 2.1.0 Ok 554 5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Relay access denied 221 2.0.0 Bye smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed; SMTP protocol error Setting up KMail to use this server works so the error must be in my Gnus configuration, only I don't know where. Versions: Gnus 5.11, GNU Emacs 22.1.1 Thanks in advance, Tobias _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
