Hi I recently installed sendEmail using apt-get because I want to be able to easily create cron jobs that will email me in the event of completion/error etc. and sendemail appeared to be by far the simplest method. however I keep getting error 535 incorrect authentication, I double and triple checked the credentials and decided to run the program in verbose mode to see if I could get any more out of it. here's what I got. $ sendEmail -f blah@blah.com -t blah@blah.com -u test -m "Hello World" -s mail.mailserver.blah -xu username -xp password -v Nov 04 11:52:02 invision-desktop sendEmail[3262]: INFO => Sending: AUTH PLAIN ZHZyQGludmlzaW9uY29tcHV0ZXJzLmNvbQBkdnJAaW52aXNpb25jb21wdXRlcnMuY29tAGQzNGQw, cmFsaXZl Nov 04 11:52:02 invision-desktop sendEmail[3262]: ERROR => Received: 535 Incorrect authentication data Notice the Red..... so my question is.... wth? running Ubuntu Jaunty Last edited by pr0n; 11-04-2009 at 01:22 PM.
