* Can't send mail again. @ 2002-08-09 14:21 Jordan Katz [not found] ` <ilu1y97htcj.fsf@latte.josefsson.org> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Jordan Katz @ 2002-08-09 14:21 UTC (permalink / raw) Hi, I'm having a problem with my Oort Gnus client (v0.07). When I attempt to send mail anywhere, it bounces back instantly saying the domain is untraceable. Yet, I am able to receive all mail. If I ssh into the mail server that I'm using I am able to send mail with no problem. Any ideas what could be causing this? Where I could check? I am using smtpmail.el to authenticate. It has all worked fine before, it just broke out of the blue. Thanks, -- Jordan Katz <katz@underlevel.net> | Mind the gap ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

What could this be? Did you recompile the file? Either remove smtpmail.elc, or do M-x byte-compile-file RET on the file. The first is probably better though, as it makes backtraces contain more information in case you get more problems and report the backtrace. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. I used smtpmail to connect to this very same ISP only weeks ago and it worked fine.. I would find it hard to believe their auth method changed, but if it did, how would I set up Gnus to pop from the server before sending mail through it? I do not have another client that can send mail through this.. is there a specific client I should try? >> What does "220-NO UCE" mean?

I didn't post the password.. if you saw something and thought it was my password then I misused the parameters because that was my username :) -- Jordan Katz <katz@underlevel.net> | Mind the gap ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
