This message has been sent August 23 and concerns a problem with smtpmail in mail-lib 1.76 for the smtp service of gmail. Hello My success report some days ago has been premature. Using smtpmail as shipped with the most recent mail-lib (1.76) does not work for gmail!!!! I attach below some part of the lossage and the result of the bug trace (debug-on-error t). What does work for me is some old version of smtpmail (I don't remember from which mail-lib version). The only problem there was that _after_ sending xemacs got stuck and I had to use *C-g*. After adding the lines (catch 'done (while response-continue [snip] That version of smtpmail works!!! That's why I consider this not as a problem of smtpmail, but of the xemacs version of it. I do remember to have seen similar mail on that topic (that is smtpmail does not work with gmail) a couple of weeks ago, therefore I think it is of general interest. There are 2 possibilities. - My setting is not correct - There is a real bug. So could somebody who is responsible of mail-lib, check whether on can send with gmail? Here is my setting: (setq feedmail-buffer-eating-function 'feedmail-buffer-to-smtpmail message-send-mail-function 'feedmail-send-it send-mail-function 'feedmail-send-it smtpmail-auth-credentials nil smtpmail-starttls-credentials nil smtpmail-debug-info t smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)) smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "oub.oub.oub" nil)) smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com" ;before loading smtp smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com" ;Version:1.54 smtpmail-smtp-service 587 vm-mail-header-from "Uwe Brauer <oub(a)mat.ucm.es&gt;&quot; user-full-name "Uwe Brauer" user-mail-address &quot;oub(a)mat.ucm.es&quot; query-user-mail-address nil mail-default-reply-to "Uwe Brauer <oub(a)mat.ucm.es&gt;&quot; gnus-posting-styles '((".*";;default (name "Uwe Brauer") (address &quot;oub(a)mat.ucm.es&quot;) ("BCC" "Uwe Brauer <oub(a)mat.ucm.es&gt;&quot;) ;Version:1.98 ("Reply-To" "Uwe Brauer <oub(a)mat.ucm.es&gt;&quot;)))) Here is part of my lossage: --8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8--- Recent minibuffer messages (most recent first): Wrote /home/oub/bug-smtpmail-maillib Entering debugger...
