Are you sure you have 'tls on' in your .msmtprc? Does your msmtp
have SSL compiled in? What's the output of the following:
# msmtp --version | grep -i ssl
If you get the following (or similar), we'll move on to more
advanced trouble shooting:
| TLS/SSL library: OpenSSL
So you have SSL but still can't connect to fastmail? Use msmtp on
the command line to send a test mail. Use the '-d' debug flag to get
more verbose output; this will almost certainly show you what the
problem is. In this case, I've created a fake email ('testmail')
which I pipe to msmtp. Change the relevant addresses; not that my
example below assumes you have an account configured as ACCOUNT in
your .msmtprc file.
# cat testmail
From: me@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: test@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Testing
Test data
# cat testmail | msmtp -a ACCOUNT -d --logfile=msmtp.log test@xxxxxxxxxxx
Any errors encountered will be found in msmtp.log. Let it run until
it returns. If you're having connection problems, verify that you
can reach the SMTP server using nc(1):
# for i in 25 26 465 587; do nc -vzw 3 mail.messagingengine.com $i; done
The command might take a little while (25 egress is presumably
blocked by $YOUR_ISP, but it's worth checking).
Mail back to the list with any errors you encounter.
