Hello all,
I'm currently reviewing SM2 and when I installed it I told it to
import the settings from my existing SM1 installation.
All email accounts got imported, along with the SMTP server definition.
While I can send emails just fine in SM1, I always get an error when
sending emails with SM2.
The error says this:
Unable to authenticate to SMTP server SERVER_NAME. The serer does not
support any compatible insecure authentication mechanism but you have
chosen insecure authentication. Try switching on secure authentication
or contact your service provider.
I tried turning on TLS or even SSL, but none of these are provided by
the given server.
What I find weird is that it worked and continues to work fine in SM1.
Obviously, some option has been removed/disabled in SM2, but which one?
Is there a way to reactivate it?
Thanks
It's a known bug, you have to disable secure authentication.
It even says so on the SM2 page that loads after the initial
installation. It's Under "known issues" or whatever.
Of course on many servers that means "never send mail again" because they don't
support unauthenticated mail. I *suspect* it means the credentials for the SMTP
sever have been lost, unless you have Verizon in which case it means "we are
blocking SMTP" and requires that you use Verizon protocol, a variant of message
submission protocol, which is only supported by about 15-20% of the servers on
Earth. Effectively it means you have to use their servers.
Rumors that VZ did this so they could more easily collect your data for the
government are unsubstantiated.
