Problem with SMTP

#1 08-02-2008, 03:29 PM

Hi,

When I try to send an email via Alpine, the following error message
apears:
"Mail not Sent. Sending error: 421 SMTP Connection Broken (message
data).

The email account is provided by gmail, Imap is working correctly (I
can see, read, and delete my messages).

my SMTP configuration in the pinerc file is the following:

# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Alpine uses
sendmail.
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com:587/tls

Anyone knows a way to solve this problem? I've googled a lot, and
found nothing relevant.

Thanks for your help.

I think you need to provide a username: ... /user=username/ ...

I use the following:

smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/ssl/user=myusername

Thanks for your help, but after changing the smtp server address to
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/ssl/user=fabioandre.domingos , the problem
persists.

Have you tried with the full e-mail address as the username?

Thanks for your help, but after changing it to my full email address,
it keeps showing the error message.

smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/user=fabiondre.domingos@gmail.com/tls/submit

Thanks Eduardo, but it keeps showing the error message.
After trying in another computer of my network with the same config,
it worked, so it's my computer's fault.
I think that it's because of the Operating System (my computer has
Windows Vista, and the other that I've tried has Windows XP).
Anyways, I will reinstall Alpine to see if it solves the problem.

Thanks a lot for your help everybody.

Hi Again,

After trying in 2 computers with Windows Vista, it shows the error
message that I've said before("Mail not Sent. Sending error: 421 SMTP
Connection Broken
> (message data).), so I think that there is a compatibility issue with theWindows Vista operating System, I've tried in other Operating Systems and it works correctly.

Thanks again for your help

I can assure you that Alpine's SMTP code works fine with Windows Vista. I
wrote that code, and have used it on Vista for nearly two years.

I suspect that your problem is due to some anti-virus program which is
intercepting your outgoing SMTP traffic. Try disabling that function in
your anti-virus program.
