I had been trying user:sec...@mail.some.domain:587, and it kept failing
as if it wasn't using STARTTLS... then I started down a rabbit hole of
trying to configure postfix's sasl client, then decided that was way
overkill for what I was trying to accomplish...
Then in a flash of inspiration, I decided to try 100587 for the port and
it just worked.
Ok, another bump...
I had changed the password to something simple for testing, and now,
after changing it back to my strong password, it fails with:
"invalid SMTP AUTH configuration, trying unauthenticated"
The password has two special characters in it that I'm sure are
problematic - a colon and a pipe symbol (I use a password generator, and
would prefer to use my same system without modification, if possible) -
so, how can I 'wrap' it so that it doesn't matter what characters are in
the password?
I tried setting the username+password as a variable and using that:
USER_PASS="user:pass"
But it still failed with the same error..
