Hi ! I'm currently trying to use CSSMTP with an SMTP server that will require AUTH LOGIN. Our IBM support saids it is not supported y CSSMTP and indeed it doesn't work. I'm trying currently trying to configure CSSMTP to send its mail to a Microsoft Exchange server using authentification. For that purpose, a special command is supposed to be added to the usual SMTP command sequence (just after EHLO command), that is : AUTH LOGIN YXJpYy5sb3JpZXV4QGItaG9sZGluZy5iZQ== cmljZXRyeP== AUTH LOGIN is a command that allows to be authenticated. It is supposed to be followed by the userid and the password (encoded Base64) on separate lines (don't try to decode the userid / password these are not the correct Base64 strings anyway ;) ) The problem is, when I'm spooling the message it fails. When examining the CSSMTP log I find the following error messages : Error Report for ISYSELOC (JOB42617) Job ISYSELOC/ /COPY (JOB42617) created by MAS1.ISYS180 at Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:57:01 -0500 For DDname: SYSUT2 Dataset name: ISYS180.ISYSELOC.JOB42617.D0000102.? CSSMTPT_CSSMTPT generated the following messages: --- Line 2 Mail 0 : AUTH LOGIN 500 5.5.1 JES Unknown command, 'AUTH' --- Line 3 Mail 0 : YXJpYy5sb3JpZXV4QGItaG9sZGluZy5iZQ== 500 5.5.1 JES Unknown command, YXJpYy5sb3JpZXV4QGItaG9sZGluZy5iZQ== --- Line 4 Mail 0 : bmljZXRyeQ== 500 5.5.1 JES Unknown command, cmljZXRyeP== --- Line 5 Mail 1 : Undeliverable mail for [email protected] Message-Id: <[email protected]> Command: MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> Reply : 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated Mail was not delivered to the following recipients: [email protected] Completed at Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:57:13 -0500 1 = mail messages found 0 = mail messages with errors 0 = recipients to whom mail was sent successfully 1 = recipients to whom mail messages could not be delivered Disposition of the JES file was HOLD CSSMTP and the test method used works perfectly well when sending emails without authentification to an SMTP server that allows it. Have you had the same problem ? What did you do ? Note : I know TLS allow encryption but this is not exactly what is expected as a solution by the team that manages the Exchange SMTP server Regards, Eric
