From: yahalom on 23 Apr 2010 00:28 I am trying to use smtp package and with different smtp servers I fail. Seems like smtp package does not work in the modern spam terrified world. my code: package require tls package require mime package require smtp set userName test ser password test set token [::mime::initialize -canonical text/plain -string hello] ::mime::setheader $token Subject "This is a test message" ::smtp::sendmessage $token -debug 1 -usetls 1 -ports 465 -originator test(a)gmail.com -recipients "test2(a)gmail.com" -servers smtp.gawab.com - username $userName -password $password I tried with gmail and got that the service is not available. The same account works fine with outlook I tried with gawab.com and got "553 you have to authenticate" I tried with are web host and again got "553 you have to authenticate" and I doing something wrong

I also find it strange that such a trivial task like sending an email is so difficult with tcl. this is totally contrary to my experience with tcl that I cannot believe that there is something wrong in the package. I was able to send email to my through my work place server but it is without ssl encryption. Am I the only one that tries to send email with gmail account using tcl? and if my code perfect, then what can be wrong?

We can't help you unless we see something, say the trace from a debug server; I certainly do not have the time to set up a debug environment. Dave
