My setting is similar to the following: > > (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) > (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.jpl.org") > (setq smtpmail-local-domain "jpl.org") > (setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "jpl.org") > (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) > (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials > '(("mail.jpl.org" 25 "yamaoka" "password"))) > (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials > '(("mail.jpl.org" 25 nil nil))) I've tried this with my information to no avail. I can send mail to addresses within my employer's domain (as before), but not outside it. Does it matter that our mail clients are required to use SSL to authenticate? Would I need some extra settings to handle that? The relevant error from my SMTP trace is: 550 5.7.1 ... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
