I think Rogers is using Yahoo or Hotmail (Microsoft) behind the scene. My sendmail/fetchmail/procmail used to work for Yahoo, until about a year ago. I gave up. I'm now using Thunderbird. You can tell by the way paragraph is mangled in my post. :-( --William On 12/1/21 8:24 PM, Ariel Burton via talk wrote:
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,
