This particular section explains only how to send email using HCoop's mail server with Emacs. Browsing email with most Emacs mail packages is not covered here, and should be less difficult. Please read the Sending email section of the MemberManual/Email page before doing what is described here. To send mail through HCoop using Emacs's smtpmail you can use the following configuration. Put your authentication information into ~/.authinfo which is in the netrc(5) format (make sure to supply port 25 or else smtpmail won't read the entry), and ensure that it is readable only by your user. An example of a netrc line follows. Replace $YOURNAME with your HCoop login name, $YOURPASSWORD with your password. If you are using a vmail account, then use the form "yourname@domain.tld" for $YOURNAME in the above. This will work for any mail client that uses message-mode for editing and sending mail (e.g. Gnus).

This section explains how to set up a local Exim daemon on your computer to use our mail server as a smarthost. First, run dpkg-reconfigure exim4 and choose to use mail.hcoop.net. In case you missed anything, here is a known working /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file. $HOSTNAME is the hostname of your local machine. Then, modify the /etc/exim4/passwd.client file to add a mapping for your HCoop username and password. Finally, modify /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost as follows. The hosts_require_auth and tls_tempfail_tryclear lines are the most important. CategoryMemberManual CategoryNeedsWork
