The other day, I ran into a problem with sending mail, in that I can't anymore... The emacs-mac-port is compiled without tls, so it uses the external gnutls program for establishing tls connections, which worked fine, until Homebrew upgraded gnutls. The problem is that gnutls-cli stopped accepting certificates that cannot be verified. As a result, the connection would be dropped and Emacs would tell me that no smtpmail process was running. (Note: mu4e uses message-mode for composing and smtpmail for sending email, so this issue shouldn't be mu4e-specific). After some googling, I found that one way to get around this *should* be to establish a connection manually once with the --tofu option, accept the certificate when asked to, and then add the --tofu option to starttls-extra-arguments, as explained in a post to gnu.emacs.gnus: . In my case, this doesn't entirely work, however. Although the connection appears to be established, nothing is actually sent. I get the following message in the minibuffer: Opening STARTTLS connection to `mailer.gwdg.de:25'...done and that's where it stays. Emacs is locked, the message buffer remains open and active and nothing happens. I have to hit C-g to get control back. Anyone know what might be going on, or how I could debug this further?
