I have the following relevant settings in my .emacs file: (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtpauth.earthlink.net") (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtpauth.earthlink.net" 25 "@earthlink.net" ""))) (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtpauth.earthlink.net" 25 nil nil))) However, when I go to send email, I always get the following error message: 550 Please configure your mail client to use authentication. Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix it? TIA!!!
