cat .mailrc

set smtp=my.server.com
set smtp-auth-user=thatsme
set smtp-auth-password=1234567

I got that from the man mail

In sylpheed-claws, what I am using now to send mail, the information is put
in ~/.sylpheed-claws/accountrc

smtp_server=my.server.com
smtp_user=thatsme
smtp_password=123456

The values are put there by the program after inputting similar to
thunderbird.

I did take a look and tried 

send -verbose -server my.server.com -user thatsme -password 123456 -sasl

and it comes back "user unknown"
