Hi again Lucas! and any other listers who might help,
This letter has to do with my efforts to set up smtpmail to send out
mail using gmail.
What I have in my .emacs under
;smtp stuff is very much like yours. Here it is:
;smtpstuff
(setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-server nil)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587);you had `25; but gmail.com specifies
`465' or 587'
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t);
(setq smtpmail-debug-verb t);
The last line helped me as follows:
When I tried to send mail by typing C-c C-c
the *Messages* buffer told me simply that sending failed, smtp
protocol error
But the trace of smtp session told me that:
Starttls has to be started. (This additional info appears after the
last line in the "smtp-stuff is included)
So I checked that starttls had indeed been succesfully installed 5
minutes earlier by doing
`which starttls' . Then I ran a shell command starttls in the
minibuffer and did C-c C-c again. No joy! I have a feeling that
another line of lisp code is needed to start starttls.
Can you figure out what I am doing wrong?
Cheers.
Kalyan
