I'm setting up an Alfresco AWS instance and trying to configure inbound email.
As per the documentation I've configured it, hosted the Alfresco mail server on port 1025, set up an iptable rule to forward port 25 --> 1025, set up an folder in Alfresco with the alias 'dropoff' and added my work email as an allowed user for sending emails. I've also ensured all the ports are open on the EC2 instance
So far so good. If I test everything from my local computer with telnet:
helo mywork.com
mail from:myname#mywork.com
rcpt to:dropoff#alfresco.mywork.com
data
From: adinihan#mywork.com
Subject: test mail from command line
this is test number 1
sent from linux box
.
Then it works. I look in the Alfresco folder and there's the test email document. However, if I use Gmail and sign into myname#mywork.com and send an email through Gmail, then it doesn't work. It sends alright and there's nothing in Alfresco logging, however the document just never appears in the Alfresco folder. The from/to address is the same as the telnet command's one.
Since I can telnet from my local computer to the instance I assume it's not an issue with ports on the EC2 instance. Why would telnet work but sending it via Gmail not?
EDIT: got an email back from Google about an hour after I sent it with the error message TLS Negotiation failed: generic::failed_precondition: starttls error (0): protocol error
EDIT 2: here are my inbound emai settings in the global properties file
# Inbound #
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous
email.inbound.enabled=true
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.hideTLS=false
email.server.enableTLS=true
email.server.requireTLS=false
email.server.port=1025
email.server.domain=alfresco.amritmro.com
imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=1143
imap.server.host=0.0.0.0

I have orangescrum installed on both local server and cloud server. When I try to send E-mail to other user from local server the mail is not getting delivered. I have checked the SMTP configurations, all seems fine. I checked email track delivery on cpanel but no email is shown.
I want mail server hosted on cloud to accept those emails originated from my local server and send it to the destination email address. It seems like something is blocking the request. Should I have to configure(DKIM,SPF etc) anything on cpanel so that it accept my mails? Any help is much appreciated.
Looks like you want to use your cpanel server as "smarthost" for your local server.
In cPanel you can do it in this way:
You can add the IP address/hostname of the local server (public IP) to the
following options in "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Exim
Configuration Manager":
"Trusted SMTP IP addresses"
"Backup MX hosts"
In some cases you may need to add the IP address to the
/etc/alwaysrelay file and enable Antirelayd.
I'm trying to configure hMailServer on my computer to be able to send email out and also receive emails. I'm not sure if I have everything set up correctly as some tests works and some others do not so I am confused.
I have already set up in the DNS of my domain these 3 MX records:
mail.example.com
smtp.example.com
imap.example.com
Each one of those records points to the domain name of my server. I am able to connect to the web server of my domain. In my router, I have forwarded ports 25, 110, 143, 465 and 587 to my local computer running the hMailServer application. When running a port check on the web, it looks like port 25, 110 and 465 are blocked, but the rest are not.
If I open my Mozilla Thunderbird mail client, I set up an account I created in hMailServer for the domain in question.
I have also allowed the hMailServer application through my Windows firewall for both the private and public networks. I did the same for the Thunderbird email client.
I can locally send emails to myself and other local domains set up in hMailServer. However, I cannot send or receive any email to/from external recipients, like to/from Gmail or Hotmail for example. I'm getting this error message:
Error Type: SMTP
Connection to recipients server failed.
Error: Host name: 1.1.1.1 (edited) message: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
Here are the TCP/IP ports summary in hMailServer:
The second part of my question is once I can actually send and receive email to/from external domains, how would I secure the connection (SSL/TSL...)? I already have a SSL certificate for my web server (example.com and www.example.com). Do I just need to generate another one for say mail.example.com or do email servers use a different kind of certificate?
I am able to send email using my gmail account from my grails application but when I use MS exchange server account I am getting this error
Message: Mail server connection failed; nested exception is com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.exg6.exghost.com/, 25; timeout -1;
Configuration I used is :
mail {
host = "smtp.exg6.exghost.com"
port = 25
username = "xxxx"
password = "xxxx"
props = ["mail.smtp.auth":"true",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"25",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"]
I am not sure what configuration to use. I tried changing port to 465 & 993 but that didn't work too. Please help
There are several things wrong with your setup. First of all, you are submitting mail to a Microsoft Exchange server (presumably), not Outlook. Outlook is a mail client and only provides end user functionality by connecting to the same server that you are trying to get the Mail plugin to connect to.
Your host name must be a valid Internet DNS host name -- therefore it must be "smtp.exg6.exghost.com". This might be all you have to do depending on the submission/relay policies in your SMTP server. Most likely you need to read on.
The SMTP protocol supports authentication and security for mail submission (new message injection) using either SSL or SASL. If you are using SSL, the default port to connect to is 465 (SMTPS port). If you are using SASL, then most servers are configured to accept new mail with authentication on port 587 (submit service port). Most SMTP servers will not accept mail submission on port 25.
In your case it looks like you are trying to connect with SSL, so you probably want to configure it using the SMTPS setup. To make sure that you have a proper setup, use a mail client like Thunderbird to try to make an SMTP connection to the server. It actually has a discovery algorithm in it that will try the common setups and report success when it has found one. Once you know what the connection parameters are, then you can proceed with configuring the Mail plugin.
I finally got this working. Turns out Microsoft provide a separate API / web-services to send email and perform all other mail related operations. This API gives developers programmatic access to Exchange Online, Exchange Online as part of Office 365, and versions of Exchange starting with Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Click here for details.
exg6.exghost.com is host for Exchange Server 2007
And I am not sure but I think Exchange server 2007 and onwards don't use SMTP.
i have a big problem with the setup for an Domain.
The Webservices are established on our Server but the Mail functions are on a Server of an other Company when we now want send an Email over our Server he tried to send it localy insted of sending it to an other server so he give back an no account here error.
Thanks for helping me out and friendly greetings.
Edit: OS Debian 6
Imap: Courier
Send: Postfix
CP: Plesk
Further to this, we are using Plesk 11.5.3 on a setup where a single mail service is activated for all domains.
So each domain cannot have the mail service turned on or off individually.
We had the same problem as Franco, and we fixed this by running the following command for each domain that had external email:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/mail --off domain.com
Works perfectly, and removes any previously created local email addresses from Postfix.
"The problem is because the server will attempt to deliver emails for the domain name locally by default. To resolve that problem you would need to set it to use the domain name's MX record."
The simple answer is to disable mail services for the subscription.
Untick the box for "Activate mail service on domain".
I've got Jenkins ver 1.524 installed on a Windows 7 box and I'm trying to configure email but the "Test configuration" is reporting errors. Jenkins is running as a service under my own domain account.
My settings are as follows:
SMTP server: smtp.corpdomain.com
Default user email suffix: #corpdomain.com
Not using authentication
Not using SSL
SMTP port: 25
Reply-To Address: tools#corpdomain.com
Charset: UTF-8
When I test the configuration, I usually get the following exception:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.amazon.com, port: 25;
nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
Yet every once in a while I receive the following instead:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 553 5.1.8 <nobody#nowhere>... Domain of sender address nobody#nowhere does not exist
;
nested exception is:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSenderFailedException: 553 5.1.8 <nobody#nowhere>... Domain of sender address nobody#nowhere does not exist
However, I am able to send mail from the command line without errors via both python script and java (using javax.mail) without authentication, and I'm able to telnet to the SMTP server on port 25, so I don't see how it could be a firewall issue.
One other note that may be related: When I try to install a plug-in via the Jenkins web interface, I receive a 403 response for the URL "http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json?uctest". However, I'm able to connect to that URL from a browser on the same machine.
Could this be a Tomcat configuration issue? I'm not familiar with Tomcat so I'm not sure where to even start looking. Maybe a Jenkins configuration that I've missed? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!
FWIW The nobody#nowhere address is the default address Jenkins comes with for the system admin email address (which is used as the from address when sending emails)
you can change it at
Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Jenkins Location
first, use port 465
second, get your email verified in AWS SES, and change your default sending email from here:
Jenkins -> Configure System -> Jenkins Location -> System Admin e-mail address
Still looks to me like your firewall is blocking Jenkins' service from accessing those ports -
especially as the connection times-out, which is typical for such cases.
Suggest you try to disable the firewall completely and see if there is any change.
Cheers
To check for conectivity problems from Jenkins, I would go to the Script Console at Manage Jenkins -> Script Console, and there, try to connect to the port you want to test (25 in your case), with a Groovy script like:
s = new Socket()
s.setSoTimeout(200)
s.connect(new InetSocketAddress("smtp.corpdomain.com", 25), 200)
s.close()
If you don't receive any kind of IOError, then there is no problem with the conectivity.
Note: I could have used simply new Socket("smtp.corpdomain.com", 25) but it will try forever to connect if the Firewall ignores your attempts.
For the SMTPSendFailedException you eventually receive, as #paul-henry mention:
The nobody#nowhere address is the default address Jenkins comes with for the system admin email address (which is used as the from address when sending emails)
you can change it at
Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Jenkins Location

Thanks for submitting an edit. It is only visible to you until it’s been approved by trusted community members
first, use port 465 second, get your email verified in AWS SES, and change your default sending email from here: Jenkins -> Configure System -> Jenkins Location -> System Admin e-mail address
Thanks. It helps me!
