If you tell us what server you're trying to access, and the output you see, perhaps someone else can check. Sorry for the hiatus I had to go to Santiago for some meetings. The problem is solved. My brother-in-law supplied me with another smtp server which has worked. So clearly the problem lies with the BT server. I shall contact them to find out what they've changed.

[gentoo-user] Re: authorization faliure when sending email
I've tried every combination of kmail settings available, no joy. I've reemerged all the software that --depclean removed, no joy. I've reemerged kmail, no joy. I've reemerged ssmtp, no joy. However, I think ssmtp, or something associated with it is the problem. But what I haven't a clue. Is there another simple mail transfer agent I could try. I don't need anything fancy it's just a laptop connected to the lab DHCP server. Matt Dr. Matthew R. Lee.

Authentication errors from the remote host have nothing to do with any local MTA, you're speaking directly to the remote MTA. If you're getting errors from the local MTA, you're doing something very wrong. You need to attempt this manually using telnet, and/or try another client like thunderbird (as Matthias has suggested). Look out for the banner from the server when you connect with telnet, make sure it is actually the server you expected to connect to. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Did you telnet to the right port (SMTP - 25, POP - 110, IMAP 143)? If so does your ISP block connections to that port (like *many* does with port 25 to avoid spammers)? -- Naga -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Everything worked fine last week and I haven't knowingly changed anything. But somewhere a setting has changed, question is where? The connection to any remote smtp server timed out?

I tried reemerging kdepasswd, it didn't solve the problem. In answer to the other question the SMTP server does require authentication. The settings I have now worked fine last week, which is why I'm sure it's something on my laptop, but not kmail itself. Dr. Matthew R. Lee.

To make sure it is really a kmail problem, try to connect manually via telnet or another mail client like thunderbird or mozilla-mail. If this works, have you enabled store password in your connect settings? Try to disable it if you have and enter your credentials again,maybe the file the password is stored in is corrupted. You can also try to emerge kwalletmanager which is a password storage app for kde, its used by kmail if it's installed. HTH, Matze -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Try going into kmail settings for smtp, click on Modify then the Security tab and then Check what server supports. Even tho the setting didn't change, this has solved this problem for me in the past. -jm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
