Subject: 28.2; smtpmail-send-it fails when credentials stored in password-store
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2023 21:04:54 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

I have setup my computer to send email using a Protonmail account (using
proton-bridge package, which acts as a proxy in localhost). My email
client of choice is mu4e, which I have setup and configured to talk to
localhost making use of smtpmail, the following being the relevant configuration.

(setq smtpmail-smtp-user "<REDACTED>"
smtpmail-smtp-server "127.0.0.1"
smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
smtpmail-smtp-service 1025)

Seemingly, I have setup auth-store [1] to use password-store:

(auth-source-pass-enable)
(setq auth-source-debug t)

I have then setup an entry in my password-store repository that matches
127.0.0.1:1025. When I attempt to send an email, auth-store debug logs
in Messages buffer tell me that the correct entry was matched, the entry
decrypted and used the credentials in "Netrc standard" as specified in
the documentation [2]
However, smtpmail-send-it fails with "invalid username or password in
response":

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Sending failed: 454 4.7.0 invalid username or pass...")
error("Sending failed: %s" "454 4.7.0 invalid username or password in response...")
smtpmail-send-it()
message-multi-smtp-send-mail()
message--send-mail-maybe-partially()
message-send-mail(nil)
message-send-via-mail(nil)
message-send(nil)
message-send-and-exit(nil)
funcall-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil)
command-execute(message-send-and-exit)

Here the SMTP trace:

220 127.0.0.1 ESMTP Service Ready
250-Hello hecate
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES

250 SIZE
AUTH PLAIN <omitted>
454 4.7.0 invalid username or password
QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye

Process smtpmail connection broken by remote peer

Un-setting password-store as auth-store service and setting the contents of the
entry that is matched in a plain text file under ~/.authinfo will
succeed when attempting to send the email.

I have doubts over where to file this issue (if under mu4e or in Emacs),
and I am not sure if the problem is to be related to Jason Donenfeld's
wrapper for pass [3] or if it is a problem with smtpmail. Please, let me
know if I should direct this issue elsewhere.

Cheers,

-Manuel
