sorry this is different!
I meant SMTP servers (originally had IMAP, but that was as i had just read the IMAP bug and was thinking of the wrong thing) - this is SENDING EMAILs not retreiving them.

[Comment 3 Alex Murray 2004-10-04 05:02:33 UTC]

downgrading to 2.0.0 fixes this so for me it is only 2.0.1.

[Comment 4 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2004-10-04 05:06:49 UTC]

can you give more of a description on what you are doing and the setup you have

[Comment 5 Alex Murray 2004-10-04 05:38:48 UTC]

Sending through a remote smtp server, requires authentication - username and password previously stored.
Create a new message, then hit SEND.
Email does NOT appear in outbox, nothing happens.

HOwever, it all works fine in 2.0.0...

[Comment 6 Alex Murray 2004-10-04 06:05:12 UTC]

Can get 2.0.1 to work IF I choose NOT to use SSL Secure connection under account info.
However I have USE="ssl" and it worked it 2.0.0..

[Comment 7 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2004-10-04 14:55:09 UTC]

what does : cat /etc/services |grep smtp output?

[Comment 8 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-10-04 16:30:10 UTC]

try adding this to your /etc/services ?

smtps           465/tcp

[Comment 9 Alex Murray 2004-10-04 16:35:51 UTC]

# cat /etc/services | grep smtp
smtp            25/tcp          mail
ssmtp           465/tcp                         # SMTP over SS

[Comment 10 Alex Murray 2004-10-04 16:39:03 UTC]

Adding 
smtps           465/tcp 

to /etc/services fixed it. Thanks.

[Comment 11 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2004-10-04 16:54:47 UTC]

ok so the line in /etc/services needs to be changed to:
ssmtp           465/tcp       smtps                  # SMTP over SSL

another baselayout change needed

[Comment 12 SpanKY 2004-10-04 17:26:39 UTC]
