Using smtps over port 465 in emacs24

Using smtps over port 465 in emacs24

[Rene]

emacs-version "24.0.92.1"

I didn't encounter any problem using the smtp protocol on port 25.  But now that
my company has turned to a secured smtp server I now should be using the smtps
protocol on port 465. Unfortunately I cannot seem to make this work.  

Besides I don't get any error message at all which leaves me with no clue on how
to debug this problem although both `smtpmail-debug-verb' and
`smtpmail-debug-info' are set to t.

*Here is my configuration*

(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtps.company.domain.name")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 465)
(setq user-mail-address "my.name@domain.name")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "domain.name")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-user "loginName")

*Here is the corresponding line in my ~/.authinfo.gpg*

machine smtps.company.domain.name  login loginName   password xxx  port 465

*Here is the trace*

Try to add :

    (setq smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl)

It's good you mentionned this because I never could have figured this out by
myself from the info file nor from the smtpmail.el file.

This fix should definitely be added to the variable's documentation string.

That's strange that absolutely no message whatsoever was issued when trying to
send messages.

Glad to see your problem is solved.  Can you file an emacs-bug-report? 
I notice that the customize for the variable doesn't have ssl on the 
menu either.

Network problems often don't result in error messages.  I don't know if 
that is Emacs's fault or the network layer's.

But the normal behavior is for Emacs to hang while waiting for network 
connections.  Are you saying that it did not even hang?

Cheers,
Uday

Done.

You're right.

It did hang.

Thanks.

I've now added this to the doc string.
