Can't send email

[Rob Pyott]

Hello, I get the error "Need Mail Command" when I try to send an email.

This is the error output. Welcome any suggestions, thanks!

Dear Rob,

the output you shared with us was the connection to the imap server. We
need the output of the connection to the SMTP server. Please do as
follows:

1) Press M S C and make sure that

[X] Enable Verbose SMTP Posting

is enabled.

2) Repeat the problem

3) Go to the main screen and press "J D 9" to set the debug to level 9,
and in the debug look for the string "EHLO" to find the debug relevant to
the SMTP connection. Do not hesitate to send the output so we can figure
out what happened (maybe authentication failed?)

SOLVED. I found the fix! Alpine was using my Linux username for my "From" address. I thought I had fixed that by adding a Role but I must have made a mistake, and noticed the bad email addresss in the EHLO string. Seems good now! Many thanks!! Rob
