From: sea <sea <at> members.fsf.org> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.3; smtpmail-send-it starttls ignores the absence of starttls Date: Wed, 08 May 2013 00:44:01 -0400
======================================== I've just noticed that if smtpmail-send-it is configured to use starttls, and if gnutls-cli (or whatever tls client you use) is /not/ installed on the system, then EMacs will go ahead and attempt to send the email without TLS anyway, usually resulting in an authentication error. The only way to diagnose the bug is of course to look at the smtpmail trace, which shows a conspicuous absence of the STARTTLS line. I think that this is a bug, since it leads users to believe that something is wrong on the server side, or that their authentication details may be wrong. I think that EMacs should say something about the missing starttls executable, rather than ignoring it outright.
