#11912: SMTP Fails to Authenticate -----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: BeDucky | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: Unscheduled Component: Servers/mail_daemon | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -----------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by BeDucky): Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but I was away from the Internet for a couplefew days, and then too busy catching up on work to get back to this. But I'm on the case now. Replying to [comment:2 axeld]: > Beam is not part of Haiku, and Beam usually does not use Haiku's mail_daemon to send mails, although I believe you can configure it as such. Did you do that? I didn't realize this was the case with Beam. I've searched around, but can't find anything that says how Beam can be configured to use Haiku's mail_daemon. I'll contact the author through Beam's SourceForge page, and cross my fingers that he's still around and answering questions. It does seem as though that is the root cause, because after smacking Mail around with a wet trout for a little while, I got it to actually send some e-mail's, so it's unlikely to be a mail_daemon problem. > Is it a free service provider? Could anyone register a mail account there? If so, please share that information, so that we can try this, too. I can set you up with a mail account on one of the servers if you still want to try that out...just so long as you promise not to use it to send threatening letters to heads of state or whatnot. Just give me a way to direct message you the pertinent details so that I'm not posting passwords for the world to see. > If not, please launch Beam and/or the mail_daemon from a Terminal, and paste their output to this bug report. I suspect I'm doing this wrong... Launching Beam via Terminal, then attempting to send a mail and closing the application via GUI shows no output in the Terminal. Launching mail_daemon via Terminal immediately output: {{{ POP3Protocol::POP3Protocol(BMailAccountSettings* settings) account name [USER]@[DOMAIN], id 1401982588, in 0x18189160, out 0x18157d40 }}} The only further output I saw came from Mail application activity: {{{ POP3Protocol::SyncMessages() }}} I saw no output from sending messages. Let me know what else you need from me, if anything. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11912#comment:3> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
