Hi, I'm trying to get mutt's smtp support to work with my department's new Exchange server.
According to the current draft documentation, Thunderbird can be configured as follows: <http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/it/email/exchange/2010/ThunderbirdSetup.htm>. I have confirmed that this configuration works. So, having read Kyle Wheeler's very useful post <http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=124285017604463&w=2>, I have turned the Thunderbird instructions into the following smtp_url: set smtp_url="smtp://[email protected]@mail.physics.ox.ac.uk:587" With this configuration, when I send mail in mutt, the status bar says "SSL connection using TLSv1/SSLv3 (AES128-SHA)" (which sounds promising) then "Authenticating (NTLM)", then prompts me for my password. I give this, but after a suspiciously long delay ~10s, I get the error "SASL authentication failed". I emphasize that the server appears to work as described in the instructions for configuring SMTP for Thunderbird. I'm using the same username and password in mutt. This is the same username and password I use to make the IMAP connection; I also have 'set imap_user="[email protected]"' and that works fine. The server is configured to check that mail is coming from a registered address, and I'm setting the From: header appropriately in mutt. I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Mike
