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

[scott@…]

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.

Here it is again:

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

Need a portname and a version in the subject line:

kdepim3 3.5.1

Qt: 3.3.6

KDE: 3.5.1

KMail: 1.9.1

Perhaps it needs some more dependencies.

Assign to maintainers and cc just in case.

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

Fixed in r20115. Tested on 10.4.8/ppc. Thank you for reporting the issue.
