Hi Dan, Authentication seems supported. You can send messages #user: and #password: to a SMTPClient instance. The methods are defined in the indirect superclass ProtocolClient. Something along the lines of smtpClient := SMPTClient openOnHostNamed: serverName. smtpClient user: 'login'; password: 'secret'. [ smtpClient initiateSession. smtpClient mailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText. smtpClient quit ] ensure: [smtpClient close] should work (not tested). HTH, Adrian BTW, when you manage to make it work and would like to help a bit, please write a short instruction that we can put into the class SMTPClient or the help system so that others have a faster start.

It works for me... I changed the from, to, and the smtp server.

What does the error say? Maybe your smpt server requires you to authenticate?

Cheers, Adrian

I can't seem to get:

SMTPClient example

to work.

I changed the 'deliverMailFrom:', 'to:' and 'usingServer:' arguments to valid entries but I keep getting a 'TelnetProtocolError'.

Could someone else please test this out cos I think it's broken. Please prove me wrong ;-)

I'm using:

Pharo-1.1.1-- Latest update: #11414

Maybe this will help: I have successfully used Seaside's WAEmailMessage>>send. Here's what is does -- looks like username/password is supported. Here's the code it executes: seasideDeliverEmailMessage: aWAEmailMessage | client server serverAddress | client := SMTPClient new. "user login information if applicable" self seasideSmtpUsername ifNotNilDo: [ :username | client user: username. self seasideSmtpPassword ifNotNilDo: [ :password | client password: password ] ]. "use HELO/EHLO ip address format [127.0.0.1] if local host name is ip" (self isIpAddress: client localHostName) ifTrue: [ client localHostName: '[', client localHostName, ']' ]. "deliver the mail" server := self seasideSmtpServer. serverAddress := (self isIpAddress: server) ifTrue: [ server ] ifFalse: [ NetNameResolver addressForName: server ]. client openOnHost: serverAddress port: self seasideSmtpPort. [client mailFrom: aWAEmailMessage from greaseString to: aWAEmailMessage recipientsAddresses text: aWAEmailMessage plainMessage. client quit ] ensure: [ client close ] On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 5:32 PM, Daniel Klein <danielk@danielk.us> wrote:

I'd be happy to write up instructions for the class, but I have not been able to get it working at all. And I've spent a considerable amount of time on it. The main requirement I have, different from SMTPClient class>>example, is that my smtp server requires authentication.

Here is my best attempt based on Adrian's code below (the names have been changed to protect the innocent ;-) ...

| smtpClient serverName login password messageText fromAddress recipientList | serverName := 'smtp.server.name'. login := 'login'. password := 'password'. messageText := 'From: test@mail.whatever To: "some@other.address" Subject: this is a test

Hello from Pharo!'.

fromAddress := 'from@email.address'. recipientList := #('to@email.address'). smtpClient := SMTPClient openOnHostNamed: serverName. smtpClient user: login. smtpClient password: password. [smtpClient initiateSession. smtpClient mailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText. smtpClient quit. ] ensure: [smtpClient close]

When I run this code, I get a 'TelnetProtocolError'.

I even tried changing SMPTClient>>deliverMailFrom: by adding in the 'user:' and 'password:' methods, and then re-testing 'SMTPClient example'...

deliverMailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText usingServer: serverName        | smtpClient |        smtpClient := self openOnHostNamed: serverName.        smtpClient user: 'login'.  "Added this and the next line with valid credentials"        smtpClient password: 'password'.        [smtpClient initiateSession.        smtpClient mailFrom: fromAddress to: recipientList text: messageText.        smtpClient quit]        ensure: [smtpClient close]

but I get the same error.

Just for kicks, and to prove my credentials are correct, I put together this script in Python, using the same credentials, and I get a successful email sent.

import sys, smtplib, time mailserver = 'smtp.server.name' From = 'from@email.address' To = 'to@email.address' Subj = 'test message' date = time.ctime(time.time()) text = ('From: %s\nTo: %s\nDate: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n' % (From, To, date, Subj)) text = text + 'this is a one line message from python' print 'Connecting...' server = smtplib.SMTP(mailserver) server.login('login','password') server.sendmail(From, To, text) server.quit()

So there is either a bug in the authentication aspect in Pharo or (more likely) I'm missing something.

There are a very limited number of methods in then SMTPClient inheritance tree that can be used for this, and I've tried a bunch of combinations.

Can anyone out there in Pharo-land test SMTPClient against a server that requires authentication? I'd really like to be able to send notifications via email. I've certainly put in my best effort to get it working.

Thanks, Dan
