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.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Authentication seems supported. 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.
