I get a connection to the SMTP server directly by this line in ~/.pinerc: smtp-server=mail.gmx.net/ssl/user=my_user...@gmx.net or via stunnel to mail.gmx.net:465 at port NNN by smtp-server=localhost:NNN/user=my_user...@gmx.net The stunnel port works fine with my own SMTP client which i need for dealing with some local network and permission peculiarities. So encryption is not the problem. I now tried TLS as proposed by http://www.cs.duke.edu/csl/security/smtp-auth/pine: smtp-server=mail.gmx.net/tls/user=th.schm...@gmx.net and also mail.gmx.net:587/tls/user=th.schm...@gmx.net (587 is proposed by https://hilfe.gmx.net/sicherheit/ssl.html) No change in behavior. "Bad sequence of commands", obviously error 503 sent by the GMX server. alpine and gmx.net are at odds with the (E)SMTP service. > What about the logs?

But the man page talks of ~/.pine-debug[1-4]. Will try to enable them. (Oh yeah the good old times ... 50 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, 17" CRT, 200 W electrical power dissipated by noise and hot air.)
