On one of your previous emails, you are using 'out.alice.it' as SMTP server. So I will assume that your friend's ISP is Telecom Italia, whose parameters can be found at: http://assistenzatecnica.telecomitalia.it/at/portals/assistenzatecnica.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=ProblemiBook&nodeId=/AT_REPOSITORY/348010&radice=consumer_root http://assistenzatecnica.telecomitalia.it/at/portals/assistenzatecnica.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=GuideBook&radice=consumer_root&nodeId=/AT_REPOSITORY/22041 SMTP: out.alice.it:587 username: yourfri...@alice.it password: xxxx >From my machine, I try connection to out.alice.it: $ nc out.alice.it 587 220 smtp201.alice.it ESMTP Service ready help 214-Valid SMTP commands: 214- HELO, EHLO, NOOP, RSET, QUIT, STARTTLS 214- MAIL, RCPT, DATA, VRFY, EXPN, HELP, ETRN 214-For more info, use HELP <valid SMTP command> 214 end of help Similar answer from port 25. No response from 465 port. Let's try with openssl: $ openssl s_client -connect out.alice.it:587 CONNECTED(00000003) 2074:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:618: Second try: $ openssl s_client -connect out.alice.it:587 -starttls smtp CONNECTED(00000003) didn't found starttls in server response, try anyway... 2077:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:618: Strange (same command with "smtp.gmail.com:587" is successfull). Third try: $ openssl s_client -connect out.alice.it:587 -starttls smtp -debug [...output reformated to be clearer] 250-smtp202.alice.it 250-DSN 250-8BITMIME 250-PIPELINING 250-HELP 250-AUTH=LOGIN 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN [...] STARTTLS 500 STAR command unrecognized Problem with STARTTLS?? Anyone can check it? Conclusion: try this sintax: smtp://yourfri...@alice.it@out.alice.it:587 or smtp://yourfri...@alice.it@out.alice.it:25 -- Javi
