Avalanche: Why ESMTP is not working Back to Back?

Environment/Versions

All Versions

Answer

There is only authentication code in the client, but not in the server. The list of commands processed by our server does not include "AUTH"

The help document says, "to a real SMTP server" for the user and passwd arguments, but not the auth_type. So should also say "for a real smtp server" for AUTH_TYPE as well, since user and passwd don't work without auth_type anyway.

Syntax

The basic ESMTP syntax is:

esmtp://IP_Address USER=myname PASSWD=mypasswd AUTH_TYPE=auth_type FROM=<user@host> TO=<user@host> SUBJECT=<"my_subject"> DATA=<content of message>

See the Parameters section for the SMTP parameter definitions. The following are additional (optional) parameters for ESMTP:

  • USER-Specifies the username for the client to log in to a real SMTP server.
  • PASSWD-Specifies the password for the client to log in to a real SMTP server.
  • AUTH_TYPE-Specifies the authentication type (PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, Digest-MD5).
