I'd be happy to write up instructions for the class, but I have not been able to get it working at all. And I've spent a considerable amount of time on it. The main requirement I have, different from SMTPClient class>>example, is that my smtp server requires authentication.
Here is my best attempt based on Adrian's code below (the names have been changed to protect the innocent ;-) ... | smtpClient serverName login password messageText fromAddress recipientList | serverName := 'smtp.server.name'. login := 'login'. password := 'password'. messageText := 'From: [email protected] To: "[email protected]" Subject: this is a test Hello from Pharo!'. fromAddress := '[email protected]'. recipientList := #('[email protected]'). smtpClient := SMTPClient openOnHostNamed: serverName. smtpClient user: login. smtpClient password: password. [smtpClient initiateSession. smtpClient mailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText. smtpClient quit. ] ensure: [smtpClient close] When I run this code, I get a 'TelnetProtocolError'. I even tried changing SMPTClient>>deliverMailFrom: by adding in the 'user:' and 'password:' methods, and then re-testing 'SMTPClient example'... deliverMailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText usingServer: serverName | smtpClient | smtpClient := self openOnHostNamed: serverName. smtpClient user: 'login'. "Added this and the next line with valid credentials" smtpClient password: 'password'. [smtpClient initiateSession. smtpClient mailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText. smtpClient quit] ensure: [smtpClient close] but I get the same error. Just for kicks, and to prove my credentials are correct, I put together this script in Python, using the same credentials, and I get a successful email sent. import sys, smtplib, time mailserver = 'smtp.server.name' >From = '[email protected]' To = '[email protected]' Subj = 'test message' date = time.ctime(time.time()) text = ('From: %s\nTo: %s\nDate: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n' % (From, To, date, Subj)) text = text + 'this is a one line message from python' print 'Connecting...' server = smtplib.SMTP(mailserver) server.login('login','password') server.sendmail(From, To, text) server.quit() So there is either a bug in the authentication aspect in Pharo or (more likely) I'm missing something. There are a very limited number of methods in then SMTPClient inheritance tree that can be used for this, and I've tried a bunch of combinations. Can anyone out there in Pharo-land test SMTPClient against a server that requires authentication? I'd really like to be able to send notifications via email. I've certainly put in my best effort to get it working.

You can send messages #user: and #password: to a SMTPClient instance. The methods are defined in the indirect superclass ProtocolClient. Something along the lines of smtpClient := SMPTClient openOnHostNamed: serverName. smtpClient user: 'login'; password: 'secret'. [ smtpClient initiateSession. smtpClient mailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText. smtpClient quit ] ensure: [smtpClient close] should work (not tested). HTH, Adrian BTW, when you manage to make it work and would like to help a bit, please write a short instruction that we can put into the class SMTPClient or the help system so that others have a faster start.
