Message-ID: <m2y87g6k69.fsf@d-128-95-226-37.dhcp4.washington.edu> (raw)

Hello,

After many days of trying, I have authenticated smtp working with my
ISP's smtp servers, gnus, and smtpmail by using TLS via starttls.el.
My question is how can I tell if TLS is actually working?  My computer
issues the STARTTLS command, but I don't see any of the handshake,
etc. information that the starttls.el file shows.  Here's the relevant
part of my .emacs:

(setq starttls-gnutls-program "/usr/local/bin/gnutls-cli"
      starttls-program nil
      starttls-use-gnutls t
;; doesn't seem to help here, maybe need to somehow route output to another buffer?
;;      starttls-extra-arguments '("--debug" "1")
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials 
      '(("smtp.isp.com" 587 nil nil)))

As you can see, I tried to add the debug argument, but the smtp trace
did not look any different.  Please also note the final two nil
arguments to smtpmail-starttls-credentials.  I've seen this one the
web, but I don't understand how TLS will work with the key and
certificate.  Is that part of the problem?

Part of the trace follows.  Thank you for any input you may have.
