Hello,
I *really* want to use Emacs as my mail reader, but problems with SMTP have
prevented me from doing so. I can get Emacs to send mail via my ISP's SMTP
server, but... well, Emacs says all went well, but I see nothing on the other
end. I've had this same problem with Cone, so I think it's my ISP's
weirdness. My ISP has a strange setup: my email address is
aidalgol@no8wireless.co.nz, but that's also my username, and their servers are
all on the rurallink.co.nz domain name. Thunderbird and other graphical
mail-readers use my ISP's SMTP server just fine.
Any ideas anyone?
Here is the SMTP-related contents of my .emacs file...
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ;; For `mail'
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ;; For message/Gnus
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.rurallink.co.nz") ;; Set before
loading library.
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 25)
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "no8wireless.co.nz") ;; Also tried with nil and
"rurallink.co.nz"
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
'(("smtp.rurallink.co.nz" 25 nil nil)))
(setq starttls-use-gnutls t
starttls-gnutls-program "gnutls-cli"
starttls-extra-arguments nil)
(require 'smtpmail)
And my .authinfo file...
machine smtp.rurallink.co.nz login aidalgol@no8wireless.co.nz password [snip]
Thanks,
Aidan

Wait a sec... I just received a mail-delivery-failure message from my (local)
system's daemon. How the heck do I use a remote SMTP server with Emacs?

Just a shoot in the dark: is it really the ciphered SMTP port address 25
or do you need gnutls-cli at all? Usually ISPs have other ports for
TLS. Google for example uses 993.

That way... see for example
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "your-user@gmail.com" nil))
smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
)
and

I tried that (with my credentials, of course) and it failed with an "SMTP
protocol error" (or something like that. Here's the debug info.

Try using the MSMTP utility. Here is page on it on the EmacsWiki
