[Users] WG: [Bug 3252] smtp authentication at smtp server of GMX fails - permanent error - no sending

[Juergen Gaida]

"
Have you checked the less obvious?  Maybe a space or TAB or other
whitespace in the userid or password fields? Or a typo?

Sometimes the server is really telling you where to focus...

I can connect to mail.gmx.net at various ports (see below); but I don't
have an account....

Note that port 465 does not identify itself as an ESMTP server...

Hi,
SPACE, TAB or WhiteSpace or TYPO is not an issue. I have cleared and re-typed often enough.
Same credentials are used for POP3 and SMTP...and POP3 works flawless.

I am checking with a user of the salixos community, but...

Anyway, I will report after checking the obvious and inobvious later on.

Thanks so far.
