I am deliberately setting 'auth off', because after much painful
investigation, I have determined that my ISP does NOT accept
encrypted passwords. The email that I am attempting to send is (from
the postponed file):
I doubt your ISP is going to let you use their SMTP server without
authentication. Very few people are running open relays these days. If
"auth on" doesn't work, try "auth plain" or "auth login", but be aware
Changing to "auth login" and adding a "password xxx" ( w/o hash mark )
has fixed the problem.
that you will be sending your password in the clear. Does you're ISP
have any instructions on setting up email for different mail clients
like Outlook or Thunderbird? You can usually get the information you
need to get STARTTLS working from that.
Thanks for pointing out the error in my config, especially so quickly.
Cheers,
Paul
