Re: failed SMTP auth

[Daniel Anderson <dankles@gmail.com>]

David you are a star! And thanks Masaru Nomiya for you help as well!

The fix was to set the auth type to login and set these options:

  starttls-use-gnutls t
  starttls-gnutls-program "gnutls-cli"
  starttls-extra-arguments '("--insecure")

here is my full (working) config in case it helps someone in the
future searching the list archive:
