msmtp error: errormsg='the server sent an empty reply' exitcode=EX_PROTOCOL

  • 772

I see this error message in the log of msmtp. What does it mean? How to fix the problem?

I previous used tor's socks proxy and I don't see this message. But when I switch the proxy to a shadowsocks localhost port, I see this error.

socks

  1. I hit the same snag. Your problem is quite possibly something else, though. I hadn't realized that msmtp uses STARTLS by default and that's not something that works with my mail provider, so tls_starttls off did the trick for me.
