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
My situation is that I can receive just gangbusters with SM2. But it
refuses to send, giving the SMTP-AUTH message. However, the server
settings show no security, no Auth.
Let me know if you get it working and most of all, how you did it.
I think that may be your problem, you have to match your settings to the server,
if it wants auth you have to provide it. Since I don't know what your server
wants I can't be sure, but there's a reasonable possibility that you need to
configure auth. Not only that, but secure auth, like TLS+SSL (I forget the exact
choice in the list), but it's not the checkbox, it's the menu about 1/3 down the
screen.
