From: Brian Marick Date: 2001-08-17T13:47:42+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:19933] SMTP authentication Net::SMTP#start takes either :cram_md5 or :plain. My ISP doesn't like either, and responds with 500 Command unrecognized: "AUTH CRAM-MD5 (It checks my identity otherwise.) Commenting out the code in smtp.rb that sends the AUTH command seems to work fine. Is there a reason why that's a bad idea? I haven't looked at an SMTP HELO command for over a decade, so I'm programming by coincidence. -- Brian Marick, marick@testing.com www.testing.com - Software testing services and resources www.testingcraft.com - Where software testers exchange techniques www.visibleworkings.com - Adequate understanding of system internals
