[GTALUG] help with Rogerrs SMTP

[Ariel Burton]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get outgoing SMTP email to work with Rogers,
and would appreciate any help.

I am not looking for a full solution; all I need is for outgoing
email to work from the command line in my user account.  I don't
need a system-wide solution, or a solution that works with GUI email
readers.  See below for a sample use-case.

I used to have a solution that had lines like this in my $HOME/.mailrc:

BEGINS

set smtp=smtp.nl.rogers.com:587
set smtp-auth-user=MY-ROGERS-EMAIL-ADDRESS
set smtp-auth-password=ROGERS-DEVICE-SPECIFIC-PASSWORD

set replyto="Ariel Burton <MY-OTHER-EMAIL-ADDRESS>"

set smtp-use-starttls
set ssl-verify=ignore

ENDS

Something like this worked for many years, but stopped working
a while  ago.
Earlier versions differed slightly, e.g., using "from" or "sender"
in place of "replyto", or different port numbers.

This is a transcript of how it fails:

BEGINS

/home/me> mail MY-OTHER-EMAIL-ADDRESS
Subject: test
test
.
EOT
% smtp-server: 550 Request failed; Mailbox unavailable
"/home/me/dead.letter" 12/365
. . . message not sent.

ENDS

Can anyone see what am I doing wrong, and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Ariel
