 |
|
hi
i have set ssmtp.conf as described in howto,
and set credentials as i have specified in thunderbird (thunderbird can send email without problem)
but ssmtp returns send-mail: Authorization failed (535 Incorrect authentication data)
somewhere i read up that ssmtp have problem with [paswords containing special characters (#,*,...)
yes, my password contains such characters, and it works OK in other mail clients
my question is, how to tell ssmtp to use password with special characters?
(i really dont wanto to adjust my pasword to application needs)
if there is no chance with such passwrod, is there replace for ssmtp in gentoo?
thanks for answer |

understand what you mean, but which utilities needs email pasword?
IMHO email client and email sender (ssmtp)
as email client i am using thunderbird, and without problem with any chars in paswords.
i dont see any reason why this does not work in ssmtp. |
