138531 - Authenticated Email Error

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Marc Perkel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

When sending email that requires authentication, if you try using "remember
password" then it fails and the server thinks the authentication is bad. It is
as if it's sending the wrong password.

You can test it with my smtp server.

smtp.ctyme.com
user=staff
password=secret


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compose a message
2.try to sent it to my server
3.

Actual Results:  from the users perspective it hangs forever waiting to send
with no error message. In the server logs it continually retries with invalid
authentication

Could it be that you're sending the encrypted password instead of unencrypting
it first?
