Rebol esmtp failure?

Question

I wanted to try esmtp with smtp.hotpop.com

esend [e-mail] "Test" 

using http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=esmtp.r and http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=esend.r

but it does not work.

What's wrong?

Here is all the information you need to help set up your mail client:

 * Incoming/POP Server: pop.hotpop.com, port 110 * Alternate POP Server: pop.hotpop.com, port 1100 * Username: [e-mail] * Outgoing/SMTP Server: smtp.hotpop.com, port 25* * Email Address: [e-mail] * Reply-To Address: [e-mail] (or any other email address you have) * Leave Messages on server: false (some clients will instead have a "Delete messages from server" option, which should be set to true). * Maximum Message Size: 500 KB (512000 bytes) * Mailbox Size: 10 MB * Mailbox Usage: 0.0% (0.0 KB) 

* For outgoing (SMTP) HotPOP mail server authentication is required. The username and password are the same as the POP server and website. Do not select “secure” password authentication.

Answer 1

Well, I could not get a great answer from this site .. and there are more than 100 questions for answering registration for their free service.

But esmtp is now embedded in the latest rebol binaries. no need to use it in the library.

so ... try the following

set-net [ [e-mail] smtp.hotpop.com] trace / net on send [e-mail] "testing"

and see what error message appears. the protocol should ask you for a user ID and password so that you can authenticate.
