Hello,
I am using smtpmail.el to use my ISP's SMTP server to send e-mail (the same
way Netscape sends e-mail with an SMTP host) from VM under XEmacs. I am on
an OpenBSD 2.9-current host. I have XEmacs 21.5 (beta2) and the latest
sumo tarball.
The error I am constantly seeing is:
Network error: connection failed, "Address already in use",
"mail.ispdomain", "SMTP"
So, I realize this error is probably outside the realm of smtpmail.el
(unlike the "Sending failed; SMTP protocol error" messages I have seen
twice). What strikes me as weird is that at the exact same time a perl
script can connect just fine to the SMTP server and work. The error occurs
when I am only trying to send with smtpmail.el.
My smtpmail setup looks like so (if you see something glaring in here
please feel free to tell me):
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; if you use `mail'
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.optonline.net")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp")
(load-library "smtpmail")
(setq smtpmail-code-conv-from nil)
(setq user-full-name "Dan Weeks")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
'(("mail.ispdomain" 25 "username" "password")))
I was wondering if anyone has any pointers on where to look for a possible
fix or explaination. If there are maybe some pointers that i can
investigate further on my own would be great. Also, if anyone knows of a
good stand-alone program that works with VM/XEmacs and can contact and use
an SMTP server like smtpmail.el does I will gladly take the information.
Thanks for your time.
