Subject: Re: SMTP Authentication

Thanks a lot, but it still doesn't really work.. here's the output:

usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/smtp.rb:262:in `do_start': wrong auth type :login 
(ArgumentError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:131:in `start'
        from sendmail.rb:5

And here's the source:


require 'net/smtp'


Net::SMTP.new('10.162.93.61',25).start('hno.atmel.com','proben1','proberserver',':login'){|smtp|
       smtp.send_mail "testmail", 'proben1@hno.atmel.com', 
'benjamin.sommerfeld@hno.atmel.com'
    }
    smtp.finish



Do you have any more hints?

Thanks in advance, Ben
