Hi Scott,
No good I'm afraid - SMTP doesn't seem to like it at all -
>> trace/net on
>> send [EMAIL PROTECTED] "now is the time"
Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" smtp]
** Access Error: Cannot connect to myuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
** Where: send
** Near: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'smtp]
if email?
It gets further without user: and pass: until the authentication error
>> send [EMAIL PROTECTED] "now is the time"
Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" smtp]
Net-log: [none "220"]
Net-log: {220-mail2.maxis.net.my Microsoft SMTP MAIL ready at Tue, 17 Apr
2001 23:34:58 +0800 Version: 5.5.1877.467.46}
Net-log: "220 ESMTP spoken here"
Net-log: [["HELO" system/network/host] "250"]
Net-log: "250 mail2.maxis.net.my Hello [202.151.220.13]"
Net-log: "MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
Net-log: [none "250"]
** User Error: Server error: tcp 505 Client was not authenticated
** Near: insert port reduce data
I use 2 servers which need authentication like this - interestingly, the
only server I use which doesn't need send authentication is Yahoo (although
it is necessary to do a POP read first.
Over time I think we will see most SMTP servers require authentication in
order to prevent spamming so a solution is going to be required at some
point. Any more ideas?
Regards,
Nick

Hi, Nick,
I scanned the last nine months of archived list messages, and can't find the
answer. Several others have asked essentially the same question, but
without answer. I'm virtually certain that it can be done, but it is not
obvious to me either. I would normally hack around to see if I could figure
it out, but unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately ;) none of the smtp
servers that I use require authentication. So I can't really be of direct
help.
My first thought was to change the settings in the user.r file (located
usually where REBOL is installed) and try to change the SMTP server from:
smtp.my.dom
to:
user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Save the file and then restart REBOL. If that works, then the great, but it
is unsecure if anyone has access to your file system, so the trick then is
to supply the values as needed (which is what you are asking, I know).
Otherwise I would request support at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if the
answer is known. If you figure it out, be sure and let us know! The
question will surely rise again.
Good luck!
