[Info-vax] SMTP AUTH ?

[Jan-Erik Soderholm]

HI.

My in-office VMS system have had my ISP's mail server as
smtp "Alternate Gateway" for some time. Has worked well.

Now, sine last week, this has stopped working. I now get :

---- Transcript of session follows ----

550 RCPT TO:<..> Relaying not allowed - please use SMTP AUTH

Now, as far as I can see there is no way to get the smtp
sender in TCP/Services to use SMTP AUTH, right ?

I have some other options I will investigate (such as using
the smtp tools in the Python port), but though I'd ask others
here about it.

I do not know if one need to run full TLS encryption on port
465, or if it enough to use the AUTH option on port 25.

Jan-Erik.
