Subject: Can't send mail with smtpmail "any more". (Gmail and other providers)
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 12:49:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+A2iZYTVHDjn6ztzQpCjJ4orLyWOr-_3n11+SJ5RXRG+qvZKw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
`Hello, everyone.
I had a setup for sending mail with Emacs' smtpmail:
```
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
(setq smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls)
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '("smtp.gmail.com" 587))
(setq smtpmail-smtp-user "lockywolf")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '("smtp.gmail.com" 587))
(require 'starttls)
(setq starttls-use-gnutls t)
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)
(setq smtpmail-debug-verb t)
(require 'smtpmail)
```
This used to work until today.
Today, this setup stopped working for some reason. Initially I blamed
it on GMail, but it seems that other providers don't work tool.
The symptom is the following:
I open message mode by M-x message-mail RET , type in the from: and
to: as the same, my own, address, and send it with C-c C-c.
The system displays the message:
```
Sending via mail...
```
and freezes. This freeze is "quitable" with C-g.
If I set "toggle-debug-on-quit", the stack trace is the following:
```
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
make-network-process(:name "smtpmail" :buffer #<buffer *trace of
SMTP session to smtp.gmail.com*> :host "smtp.gmail.com" :service 587)
network-stream-open-starttls("smtpmail" #<buffer *trace of SMTP
session to smtp.gmail.com*> "smtp.gmail.com" 587 (:type starttls
:return-list t :warn-unless-encrypted nil :capability-command "EHLO

message-send-and-exit(nil)
funcall-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil)
call-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil nil)
command-execute(message-send-and-exit)
```
I have redacted out the email address.
Connecting to the process with gdb and asking for a stack trace produces:

Sometimes (unpredictably), the connection times out and produces the
following message:
```
network-stream-open-starttls: make client process failed: Network is
unreachable, :name, smtpmail, :buffer, *trace of SMTP session to
smtp.gmail.com*, :host, smtp.gmail.com, :service, 587
```
Trying to make an MWE,
1. I launched emacs -Q
2. M-x message-mail RET
3. Typed in :to and :from
4. M-x toggle-debug-on-quit RET
5. C-c C-c
6. smtp RET
7. smtp.gmail.com RET
And received an identical freeze.
After:
8. C-g (once) -> nothing happens (no stack trace)
9. C-g (second time) -> a message appears:
`Port number to use when contacting smtp.gmail.com?`
10. 587 -> freeze
11. C-g -> `smtpmail-query-smtp-server: Couldn’t contact an SMTP server`
If I connect to emacs with gdb after step 7:

(require 'starttls) doesn't seem to change anything, except give a
warning about starttls being obsolete.
