Re: [9fans] Setting up Mail in Acme on the Raspberry Pi.

[Mats Olsson <plan9.meo@gmail.com>]

Hi guys!

OK, now I can get my mail but not send mail. This is what I've done:
     Changed the header file in /mail/box/$user/headers (since it
didn't exist i filled in the below).
     Added my login information to factotum according to the docs.
     Sent email to the server like this:
       ;upas/smtp -d -a -h localhost.localdomain net!smtp.gmail.com
myemail recipiente-mail
         a window shows up like when retrieving mail to fill in the password

A lot of thing are going on but terminates in "Username and Password
not accepted
Temporary failure, Retry "(all the time)

The command:
  ;tail -1 /sys/log/smtp results in the following:
  myipaddr. the time and TLS started to smtp.gmail.com

So obviously I'm missing something that I can't find in the
documentation or the wiki. I would be eternally grateful if someone
could shed some light on this. The only thing I can come up with is
that the machinename is wrong but I've tried several with the same
result. So, please help me out.

Kind greetings,
Mats
