Hi Curl friends,

First of all, thanks for all the work on curl. It is a very useful tool.

I've been experimenting with sending email from scripts using curl. It
works great when the setup uses gmail. However, I have not been able
to make it work using hotmail. Here's what I'm doing:
$ curl --ssl-reqd --mail-from "testaccount_at_hotmail.com" --mail-rcpt
"jayakumartest_at_gmail.com" --url smtp://smtp.live.com:587 --upload-file
/tmp/mail.txt --user "testaccount_at_hotmail.com:testpassword" -v
--insecure

curl: (67) Authentication failed: 535

The password is correct so it seems like an unexpected error.

So a quick question before I struggle further, has anyone been
successful using curl to send mail using hotmail? If possible, would
you mind sharing the command line or test C program?

Thanks,
jaya
