smtpmail with authentication problem

smtpmail with authentication problem

[FCC]

Hello all,

I am posting this to gnu.emacs.help because I could not get an answer to 
it at gnu.emacs.gnus.

I can read news and check my e-mail using gnus. I have been trying to 
send e-mail using

GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2003-03-28 on buffy

I have also tried to use the smtpmail.el and sendmail.el of latest CVS 
emacs, because I have found posts claiming that those files shipped with 
Emacs 21.3 do not have authentication support. In my server, I 
definitely need authentication (for example in Mozilla I must use 
authentication or I cannot send any mail).

But I have no success.

Here is what I have in my _emacs:

(setq user-full-name "myname")
(setq user-mail-address "mylogin@mydomain")
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mysmtpserver")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)
(setq smtpmail-auth-login-username "myname")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("mysmtpserver" 25 "mylogin" nil)))
(load-library "smtpmail")


Here is what I am getting:

Any ideas what's going on? Is it that may be smtpmail with 
authentication has not been completely developed yet? Thanks for your 
help in advance.

hi,

smtpmail with authentication works for me at home using the .authinfo
file. I'll post possible further details from there.

hi,

i just set the variables smtpmail-default-smtp-server and
smtpmail-smtp-server to the name of my smtp server and created the
file .authinfo in my home directory containing a line like this:

"machine <smptp-server-name> login <user-name> password <password> force yes"

i'm using smtpmail.el which comes with
"GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.0.2195) of 2003-03-28 on buffy"

Can you please post also relevant section of your .emacs or _emacs file? 
I am still not succeeding, wondering if I am missing something in my _emacs.

Thanks,
