I setup SquirrelMail 1.4.2 on my Slackware 9.1 server last night (w/ Apache
1.3.28, PHP 4.3.3, UW IMAP 2002e). Everything seems to be working fine --
with one not-so-small problem -- I can't send any mail from SM.
I believe the root of the problem is that I'm forced to use SMTP to send
email and the SMTP server is on a different machine with a different user
name & password (and it's out of my control to change). Unfortunately
sendmail is also not an option for me.
I used conf.pl to setup the correct SMTP server & authentication type
(login), but I don't see any way to configure a different user name and
password for the server. Any attempt to compose & send email from SM
results in a "535 Authentication failed" error. I tried with both IE 6 on
WinXP and Mozilla 1.5 on Linux.
With other mail clients (Outlook for example) I can setup different login
credentials for the outgoing mail server and everything works.
I've read through FAQs, google'd for answers, and searched the mailing list
archives. I saw someone else posted the exact same problem, but there was no
reply or solution.
I even partied on the compose.php script try to force use of a different
user & password, but that doesn't work either - although I think it should
be possible. Maybe I made a stupid mistake. Here's the change I tried:
Before:
$user = $username;
$pass = OneTimePadDecrypt($key, $onetimepad);
After:
$user = "xxxxxxx";
$pass = "yyyyyyy";
xxxxxx and yyyyyy are my SMTP server user name and password in plain text.
Then the code goes on to call $deliver->initStream(....).
So, my questions are...
1) Is there someway to configure SM to use a different user name & password
for SMTP? If so, how?
2) Is there anything obviously wrong with my compose.php hack that's
preventing it from working? I know this wouldn't be acceptable for most
installations, but it would/should work for my home office network. I
turned on SMTP tracing from Outlook and verified that the server really is
using AUTH LOGIN for authentication.
3) Is there a way to have SM optionally prompt for different user name &
password when sending to a SMTP server? I'd rather not have to type in a
user & pw every time I click on the Send button, but it would be better then
not sending at all.
4) Is there any other way to make this work? I also looked at the vlogin
plug-in -- it allows some per user settings (like SMTP server name and
authentication type) but not a different set of server credentials.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
