My ISP uses SMTP server on port 465 and I have verified that the server is up and running by a nmap port scan. I have even inserted IP number rather than address. My machine is running unix. This is the contents of my .emacs file: ---------- (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it smtp-starttls-credentials '(("62.254.26.195" 465 nil nil)) smtpmail-auth-credentials (expand-file-name "~/.authinfo")) (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "62.254.26.195") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 465) ----------- When i C-C C-C to send the message, I get an error in the mini buffer that says: "Process SMTP not running" I have tried to find the answer via google but no clear answer seems to be available. Is anyone able to help with this?
