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.

I'm very sorry for the multiple posts.  When I hit C-c C-c, emacs/gnus
just hung on a message in the minibuffer indicating that it was
posting via nntp, but never came out of that.  I hit C-g, thinking
that I was having trouble with the server.  Apparently, it's the same
problem as in discussed in this thread:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnus-english/2005-07/msg00147.html

Again, sorry for the error.

Brian

Does setting smtpmail-debug-info t help?

,----[ C-h v smtpmail-debug-info RET ]
| smtpmail-debug-info's value is nil
| 
| Whether to print info in buffer *trace of SMTP session to <somewhere>*.
| See also `smtpmail-debug-verb' which determines if the SMTP protocol should

| You can customize this variable.

Thank you for the response and I apologize for the delay in my
response.  I need to reconfigure gnus to work properly with my NNTP
server.

Unfortunately, smtpmail-debug-info does not help.  I've had it set,
but I don't see messages of the sort in the starttls.el file.
