SMTP mail

SMTP mail

[David Ventimiglia]

Sending mail through SMTP fails for me, with the error "Sender verify
failed".  Has anyone seen this before with Emacs?  I'm trying to
figure out if I need to fix my Emacs configuration, or if the problem
lies outside of Emacs.

Here're my mail customizations:

(custom-set-variables
 '(message-send-mail-function (quote smtpmail-send-it))
 '(send-mail-function (quote smtpmail-send-it))
 '(smtpmail-auth-credentials (quote (("mail.msu.edu" 25 "ventimig" nil))))
 '(smtpmail-debug-info t)
 '(smtpmail-debug-verb t)
 '(smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.msu.edu")
 '(smtpmail-starttls-credentials (quote (("mail.msu.edu" 25 "" ""))))
 '(starttls-use-gnutls nil)
 '(user-mail-address "ventimig@msu.com"))

And here's the output from the SMTP trace buffer:

Process SMTP killed

Of course, sending mail with SMTP using TLS works perfectly fine from
this computer when I use Thunderbird.

Cheers,
David

ehhmm, the From header is the same as the sender?, OTOH can you
additionally try an autentication such as:

,----
| smtpmail-auth-credentials "~/emacs-stuff/mailauth"
`----

** The mailauth file has .netrc syntax


Hope this help.

Hi.  Thanks for the response.  The "From:" header is "David
Ventimiglia <ventimig@msu.com>", but I don't know what that would be
compared against to verify.  My email address on the IMAP server is
ventimig@msu.edu, but what does the SMTP server compare it against?

Also, smtpmail-auth-credentials has its default value, "~/.authinfo",
and in that file I have:

machine mail.msu.edu login <my user id> force yes

Anyway, in the SMTP trace window are these lines

AUTH PLAIN AHZlbnRpbWlnAFRtdGN0bXRzdHMx
235 Authentication succeeded
MAIL FROM:<ventimig@msu.com> SIZE=182
250 OK

It seems like authentication to the SMTP server works.
