authinfo and smtp

authinfo and smtp

[Richard G Riley]

I have a few lines of the form

(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "accountname"
"password"))

Could some kind soul possibly provide some elisp to convert this line to
get the password from the .authinfo  file based on that server and
accountname?

  I'm not sure if this is how to do it with 'smtpmail-auth-credentials'
 but this is how I do it with 'smtpmail-starttls-credentials'.

(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))

  But since your using smtp.gmail.com, you should do something like this:

(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 25 nil nil)))

-- .authinfo

machine smtp.gmail.com
        login YOUR_USER_NAME
        password YOUR_PASSWORD
        force yes

  Hope it helps :-)

No because I have multiple accounts for work/play. I need to access a
password, and preferably from .authinfo, based on machine name AND login
name as I mentioned above.
