Hi,
I am trying to send email from emacs (GNU Emacs 21.3.1)
using Earthlink as my ISP. 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 "<username>@earthlink.net"
"<password>")))
(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!!!

`smtpmail.el' shipped with Emacs 21 does not support this. Follow the
instruction for "Emacs 21 users" on
<http://josefsson.org/emacs-smtp-starttls.html>.
Bye, Reiner.
