74465 - Cannot send mail, "Sending of message failed" error

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74387

Description

[Chris McAfee]

Cannot send mail, "Sending of message failed" error.
Linux, both debug & opt, opt is a clobber build.

Here's my smtpserver prefs:

user_pref("mail.smtp.defaultserver", "smtp1");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 0);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "meer.net");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.try_ssl", 1);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "");
user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1");

This works with 4.7.  I tried setting try_ssl to 0,
same result.
