Well, I’ve got a registration at outlook.com purposefully to test it
with Gnus — and it just works with no problem. I’ve used the following
configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
message-send-mail-function send-mail-function
smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
smtpmail-smtp-user "[email protected]")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and the following .authinfo:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
machine smtp-mail.outlook.com login [email protected] password eXamp1e port
587
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Debian GNU/Linux Jessie, GnuTLS 3.3.8, GNU Emacs 25.1.50.
However, it was enough to send two letters through this SMTP server to
get enough experience to never deal with it again. Look:
— It adds erroneous headers, for example ‘Content-Language: en-US’,
while my test message was not in English.
— It does not allow you to write anything to ‘From’ header even outside
of angle brackets, e. g. I am not allowed to write my name as ‘Дмитрий
Александров <[email protected]>’ — it would be silently rewritten
with ‘Dmitry Alexandrov <[email protected]>’.
— It rewrites ‘Message-ID’, which means that unambiguous link between you
letter and replies to it would be lost for your MUA (if only you do
not ‘Bcc’ all outcoming mail to yourself).
— It just throw out useful headers, in particular ‘Mail-Followup-To’
and ‘Mail-Copies-To’.
As a bonus, it adds lots of weird headers and re-encodes the body of
message — both charset and transfer encoding: I’ve send a letter with
‘charset="utf-8"’ and received with ‘charset="iso-8859-1"’, I’ve send a
letter in ‘8bit’ encoding and received it in ‘base64’.
Any of listed ‘features’ on its own should be enough to not to use that
piece of Microsoft crap. Thus, I would just advice you choose another
SMTP server that does not break you mail.
