I lost contact with Dodgers' SMTP from my Thunderbird some time back, what do your working settings look like? Mine are attached below --dave On 12/2/21 00:04, William Park via talk wrote:

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. :-(

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,

Ironically, Duck Dodgers just sent me and email saying to switch back to my regular password, abd smtp and imap now both work! --dave On 12/2/21 12:03 PM, Dave Collier-Brown wrote:
