BUG: kdebase-3.5.1 - Authentication support is not compiled into kio_smtp

Reported by: scott@… Owned by: takanori@…
Priority: High Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.3.2
Keywords: kmail kio_smtp Cc: ben@…, takanori@…
Port:

Description

Kmail successfully downloaded & compiled, and I can use it to read & send email, as long as SMTP authentication over SSL isn't required. Using Gmail for SMTP, for instance, requires this, so my settings for my SMTP transport are as follows:

Host: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Server requires authentication is checked My Gmail address is entered into Login My Gmail password is entered into Password For Encryption, SSL is chosen For Authentication Method, PLAIN is chosen

When I try to send email using the above settings, I get the following error message:

Sending failed: Authorization failed, Authentication support is not compiled into kio_smtp. authentication not supported

When I send email using my ISP, which does not require authentication, & certainly doesn't support encryption, everything is fine.

Receiving email over an encrypted connection is also fine. It's just sending that has the problem.

I use Gmail as my universal SMTP, so not being able to use it is problematic.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry about the formatting of my settings above ... I forgot to use wiki formatting.

Host: smtp.gmail.com

Port: 465

Server requires authentication is checked

My Gmail address is entered into Login

My Gmail password is entered into Password

For Encryption, SSL is chosen

For Authentication Method, PLAIN is chosen

Indeed, it seems that kdebase3 port lacks a dependency on cyrus-sasl2. I'll take a look, but I think this should be a cause of your problem.

Here is a workaround. Please try it.

$ sudo port uninstall kdebase3
$ sudo port clean --archive kdebase3
$ sudo port install cyrus-sasl2
$ sudo port install kdebase3
