[REBOL] Re: SMTP authentication
From: kitson::maxis::net::my at: 18-Apr-2001 0:07
Hi Scott,
No good I'm afraid - SMTP doesn't seem to like it at all -
>> trace/net on
>> send [abc--def--com] "now is the time"
Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" smtp]
** Access Error: Cannot connect to myuser:[mypass--smtp--maxis--net--my]
** Where: send
** Near: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'smtp]
if email?
It gets further without user: and pass: until the authentication error
>> send [abc--def--com] "now is the time"
Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" smtp]
Net-log: [none "220"]
Net-log: {220-mail2.maxis.net.my Microsoft SMTP MAIL ready at Tue, 17 Apr
2001 23:34:58 +0800 Version: 5.5.1877.467.46}
Net-log: "220 ESMTP spoken here"
Net-log: [["HELO" system/network/host] "250"]
Net-log: "250 mail2.maxis.net.my Hello [202.151.220.13]"
Net-log: "MAIL FROM: <[kitson--maxis--net--my]>"
Net-log: [none "250"]
** User Error: Server error: tcp 505 Client was not authenticated
** Near: insert port reduce data
I use 2 servers which need authentication like this - interestingly, the
only server I use which doesn't need send authentication is Yahoo (although
it is necessary to do a POP read first.
Over time I think we will see most SMTP servers require authentication in
order to prevent spamming so a solution is going to be required at some
point. Any more ideas?
Regards,
Nick
