[Mac-emacs-users] Trouble trying to send email from emacs

[Gilbert Harman]

When I try to send email from emacs I get the error message:

503 5.7.0 encryption too weak 0 less than 39

Anyone know how to do this? I am able to send email using Entourage or the
OS X Mail program, so maybe I should try to send mail from emacs via one of
those programs?

Sending email used to work fine for me but my sttp server (at Princeton) is
now requiring authorization that appears to use that encryption.

Simon Josefsson has some support for starttls in Emacs. See
http://www.josefsson.org/emacs-smtp-starttls.html. Perhaps this will
provide what you need - I use this with an iPlanet Messaging Server
and it works fine.

An external program, starttls, required for this and can be found at
ftp://ftp.opaopa.org/pub/elisp/starttls-0.9.tar.gz

This program requires OpenSSL which is included with OSX 10.1, but for
some reason is missing header files. This link shows how to get it
running (i.e. place the header files in the right place):
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/macosx/openssh3.html

Once I got the header files in the right place it compiled.
