it will be ignored, and you will be prompted for the user name and the

If you wish to copy over all the credentials from
`smtpmail-auth-credentials' to your ~/.authinfo file manually, instead
of letting smtpmail prompt you for these values, that's also possible.
If you had, for instance,
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
'(("mail.example.org" 25 "jim" "s!cret")))

machine mail.example.org port 25 login jim password s!cret
