In further testing, I have confirmed SMTP connections to this server work with
msmtp. Here is my very short .msmtprc:
defaults
tls on
tls_certcheck off
account default
host mail.domain.com
from [email protected]
auth on
user [email protected]
(Where domain.com is my real domain, etc.)
This works on the command line as follows:
$ echo "hello" | msmtp [email protected]
password for [email protected] at mail.domain.com: [I type my password]
$
A full verbose log of the communication between msmtp and the server is at the
end of this email.
So I just want to translate that .msmtprc into a .muttrc. I have
set smtp_url="smtp://[email protected]@mail.physics.ox.ac.uk"
Does anyone know why this doesn't work ("SASL authentication failed" as
described above)?
To anticipate some questions, my installation of mutt was built with the
necessary SSL/SASL support:
+USE_SSL_OPENSSL -USE_SSL_GNUTLS +USE_SASL +USE_GSS
(which makes sense as I am able to connect to this server via IMAPS:993.)
Any ideas very welcome. msmtp log below.
