Hi, Stuart,
It depends on whether your SMTP server follows the numeric prompt "334" and whether
your SMTP server allows plain text authentication or some other method of encoding.
This was why I suggested turning "trace/net on" and seeing what the net log says the
server is asking.
In the meantime you can still try the patch (watch for line wrap):
system/schemes/smtp/handler/open-check: [none "220" ["EHLO" system/network/host]
"250" "AUTH LOGIN" "334" [port/user] "334" [port/pass] "235"]
Then try to have the user name and password sent as plain (unencoded) text. Use this
script fragment as one way to set these data:
view lo: layout [
text "username"
f: field "username" [
system/schemes/smtp/user: copy value
]
text "password"
field hide [
system/schemes/smtp/pass: copy value
unview/all
]
do [focus f]
]
or alternatively in noninteractive script method:
system/schemes/smtp/user: "myusername"
system/schemes/smtp/pass: "mypassword"
This fragment sets "system/schemes/smtp/user" to your username, and
"system/schemes/smtp/pass" to your password. Within the SMTP scheme
"system/schemes/smtp/user" is represented by the internal path "port/user" and
"system/schemes/smtp/pass" is represented by the internal path "port/pass". So when
the SMTP request is being handled and the numeric indicator "334" is detected, the
protocol sends first the port/user, and then the port/pass is sent for the second
"334".
If this suggestion does not work, then try at a *fresh* REBOL session turn the
"trace/net on". Then send a test email and make a copy of the net-log, obscuring any
sensitive information and paste-ing that to the forum. If I/we cannot figure it out
from that, there is one other way (which I'll avoid explaining from now since I do not
believe it will be necessary).
I hope the plain text authentication works. If not let me/us know what the net log
shows from a fresh REBOL session.
