Subject: SMTP-AUTH and TLS
Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2007 15:07:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87odfh1x8e.fsf@tobe.homeunix.org> (raw)
Hello.
I want to send mail via SMTP. The server in question demands clients
to connect encrypted and authenticate using SMTP-AUTH PLAIN. The
server refuses unencrypted authentication and refuses to relay mail
from unauthenticated connections.
I have the following in my .gnus.el:
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
'(("smtp.myserver.tld" 25 nil nil)))
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.myserver.tld")
and something like the following in .authinfo:
machine smtp.myserver.tld login tobias password secret
From setting `smtpmail-debug-info' and `smtpmail-debug-verb' to `t' I
see that Gnus doesn't even try to use TLS and authenticate (at least I
interpret the following output to mean that):
Sending...
Sending via mail...
220 smtp.myserver.tld ESMTP Postfix
250-smtp.myserver.tld
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
250 2.1.0 Ok
554 5.7.1 <someone@someisp.tld>: Relay access denied
221 2.0.0 Bye
smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed; SMTP protocol error
Setting up KMail to use this server works so the error must be in my
Gnus configuration, only I don't know where.
Versions: Gnus 5.11, GNU Emacs 22.1.1
Thanks in advance,
Tobias
