85892 - Can't send mail through smtp server that requires authorisation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85304

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Andy Ruddock]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    After 20010607

My mail server requires authorisation, the username is my full e-mail address.
Up to, and including, 20010607 this is fine (use % instead of @ in username).
After 20010607 mail doesn't get sent, have a small 'progress' window and the
progress bar at the bottom of the mail window just keep going.
Netstat reports a connection to the server.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have SMTP server that requires authorisation.
2. Have username as full e-mail address (including '@') - not sure if this is a
red herring.
3. Try to send mail.

Actual Results:  Small 'progress' window opens with progress bar, progress bar
on bottom of composer window starts. Necessary to quit, losing the message that
was being sent if it hadn't previously been saved.


Expected Results:  Sent mail.

Could this be related to bug 72610?

Is your SSL set to "When Available" in the SMTP server page?  If it is and
changing it to "Never" fixes things then this is a dup of bug 83989. Reading bug
84731 is probably more illuminating, but it will tell you to dup bug 83989. 
This should be fixed in the next nightly.
