how to SMART RELAY with SMTP AUTH

[Omone]

Hi all,
I've purchased an SMTP send with authentication, but I'm not able to let the smart-relay configuration work properly.

I'm tailing all the openemm's log files and this is the output I get:

Code: Select all

==> /home/openemm/var/log/20101014-ubuntu-srv-web-semu.log <==
[14.10.2010  18:09:32] 13346 WARNING/349eTdcac00000001: Retry as sent to authsmtp.stid.it failed 400: 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol'

this is my obscured smart-relay file.

Code: Select all

/home/openemm/conf/smart-relay
user:password@authsmtp.myprovider.it

I've got both user and password with '@' chars in them. How can I escape?
Let's assume my credentials are usern@me and p@ssword. I' tried this solutions but they didn't work:

Code: Select all

"usern@me":"p@ssword"@authsmtp.myprovider.it
usern\@me:p\@ssword@authsmtp.myprovider.it
<usern@me>:<p@ssword>@authsmtp.myprovider.it

Any help would really be appreciated...

Hi,

I just went over the same problem. Maybe this answer is a bit late for you, but it may help others. What I did was to edit bin/scripts/semu.py and change the separator character from '@' to a '|'. This is my diff:

Code: Select all

169c169
<                               parts = sexpr.split ('|')
---
>                               parts = sexpr.split ('@')
172c172
<                                       auth = '|'.join (parts[:-1]).split (':', 1)
---
>                                       auth = '@'.join (parts[:-1]).split (':', 1)

Once done, the conf/smart-relay file should be like:

Code: Select all

your@username|passw@rd|relay.host.com

Change the values to fit your needs and restart openemm. It worked for me. Maybe the Openemm guys should consider changing the file format reflecting their choice on the documentation.

Hope it helps.
