Hi All, I'm just trying to send an email using the TinyMail library - and I've written the relatively few lines of code that seem to be needed, but I'm having a couple of problems. First, I thought I'd just use Tmut to just send an email (so I could use the correct "tny_account_set_XXXXX" functions in my program) - but I just cannot get Tmut to send an email! I created 2 Tmut accounts: The 1st Tmut account is mapped to a Gmail account I have (using SSL) - and it works perfect! In fact, my little console program can do the exact same thing as Tmut now (for that very same Gmail account - thanks to some helpful advice you all gave to me in this last week). The 2nd Tmut account is mapped to my Comcast SMTP server, with the following settings: Account name : smtp-comcast Protocol : smtp Hostname : smtp.comcast.net User : my-username-here Type(+ From) : store / steverosen polarlight com Options : <blank> Port : -1 (so it just uses the default port 25) Auth mech : login However, the above configuration just generates the following Tmut error message: SMTP server smtp.comcast.net does not support requested authentication type login. So, I then tried to set the "Protocol" to "esmtp" - same result (ERROR). Then I tried to set the "Auth mech" to "auth" and "auth login" and "auth-login" - same result (ERROR). I also tried explicitly setting the port to 25 - but that was not the problem, as I verified that Tmut was at least getting the "helo" command successfully to the Comcast SMTP server - it's just the authentication that keeps failing. I can use telnet to do the following with that Comcast SMTP server: telnet smtp.comcast.net 25 220 omta15.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast ESMTP server ready helo 501 HELO requires valid address helo auth 250 omta15.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net hello [24.7.14.56], pleased to meet you auth login 500 5.5.1 command unrecognized auth login 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 <my-base64-encoded-username> 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 <my-base64-encoded-password> 235 2.7.0 ... authentication succeeded mail from: <steverosen polarlight com> 250 2.1.0 <steverosen polarlight com> sender ok rcpt to: <steve dapperlads com> 250 2.1.5 <steve dapperlads com> recipient ok data 354 enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself From: steverosen polarlight com Subject: testing the smtp protocol hello, steve - this is a test and this is the end of the test! . 250 2.0.0 LizY1e00G1CZuGw8bj0vV8 mail accepted for delivery quit 221 2.0.0 omta15.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast closing connection So, can anyone help me to figure out how to successfully send out an email using Tmut? Then, once I can use Tmut to successfully send an email to my Comcast SMTP server, I should be able to do the same thing from my little console application, using the TinyMail library. Thank you in advance, Steve Rosen |
