summary: I have setup Thunderbird on a host and it sends mail using
SMTP. I have Emacs setup on the same host and it does not send mail.
details:
I'm using an eee running the default version of Xandros linux, which
installed a downlevel emacs:
/home/user> emacs --version
GNU Emacs 21.4.1
It works for most purposes. The eee is running on a LAN connecting to
the internet via cable modem using DHCP: it has hostname=
eeepc-tomroche.nc.rr.com and default id=user. The eee comes with
Thunderbird, which I was able to configure to use my mail forwarder's
SMTP:
server=sasl.smtp.pobox.com
port=26
authentication=use name and password
name=foo@pobox.com
use secure connection=no
Thus configured, I can send mail from the eee using its Thunderbird
(which I'm using to send this post) ... but not emacs. I currently
have the following stanza in my .emacs:
> ;;; for mail-mode
> (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "sasl.smtp.pobox.com")
> ;; The variable smtpmail-default-smtp-server controls the default
> ;; hostname of the server to use. It is a string with an IP address
> ;; or hostname. It must be set before the SMTP library is loaded. It
> ;; has no effect if set after the SMTP library has been loaded, or
> ;; if smtpmail-smtp-server is defined. It is usually set by system
> ;; administrators in a site wide initialization file.
> ; try setting @ end
> (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
> (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "sasl.smtp.pobox.com")
> ;; Send mail using SMTP on the mail submission port 26
> (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 26)
> ;; see

> (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
> '(("sasl.smtp.pobox.com" 26 "foo@pobox.com"
> "notMyPassword")))
> (setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "pobox.com")
> (setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
> (setq smtpmail-debug-info t)
> ; try setting above
> ; (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
I have tried several variants of the above, but when sending, with
`C-x m`, the following buffer
> To: tlroche@gmail.com
> Subject: test sending email -nw from eee, take 7
> From: Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
> --text follows this line--
> test sending email -nw from eee
I always fail with

What am I doing wrong? TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>

Does setting `user-mail-address' help?

The version of smtpmail.el that comes with Emacs 21.4 doesn't support
SMTP authentication. You want a more recent version of that library.
See http://josefsson.org/emacs-rfc2554.html, or just upgrade your Emacs.
