TFS server 2015: Email alerts not working - email

TFS email alerts is not working for some reason. Any possible reasons ?
I think tfs 2015(VSO) doesn't need SMTP server settings and should directly work. I created simple requests, none are working. what's possibly can go wrong ?
simple alert request
more info: TFS server running on windows 2008 server

If you are using on-premise TFS server2015.
For feedback requests and alerts to work, you still need to configure an SMTP server for TFS.
Details steps from MSDN: Configure an SMTP server to support alerts
and feedback requests
Give a try after you finish the configuration to see if it works.

Failure sending mail: The transport failed to connect to the server

I have numerous SSRS reports. Most with subscriptions. All of the existing subscriptions are working fine but I am getting an error when I try and set up a new subscription. The example attached shows a working and a failed subscription. Can anyone offer any advice on this?
This would mean that SSRS failed to connect to the SMTP server to send the subscription. This seems like an issue with your mail server rather than SSRS. Please make sure the mail server is up and running.
Additionally please take a look at the configurations for reporting services: Within Reporting Services Configuration click on Email Settings.
The issue was that the SSRS was failing to connect to SMTP. Antivirus was the cause.

How to test email notifications of trac in local host ? Especially Mail2Trac plugin and Email2Trac plugin

I'm able to configure SMTP server so that whenever a ticket is created in Trac, the ticket will be sent to the gmail id.
Now the Email to Trac plugin and Mail 2 Trac Plugin works in such a way that, the emails received from the trac system will be replied back and the reply of that mail will be posted automatically as the comment in the ticket.
How to test this plugin functionality in localhost ? I donot know how to setup SMTP server so that I can receive emails generated by trac system inside my machine and I dont have idea how the reverse case (reply to the email) will work locally in my machine.
I'm working in Ubuntu 14.0.4
Guide me on how to do this.
I think smtp_replyto is simply set to an email address, e.g. root#localhost. That's all for the Trac part. Then install an SMTP server on your local machine. Refer to this posting for how to do configure the SMTP server.

One website on IIS server cannot connect to SMTP host - how to track what happened

I have an ASP website on an IIS server, yesterday I noticed that this certain website was unable to send out any emails as Dynumail (something we use for SMTP emails in code) could not connect to the SMTP host.
This issue was only happening with this website and not any of the others on the same server that also use Dynumail.
Is there a way to track how this might have happened? To resolve the issue I restarted the website through the IIS GUI.
Any help on tracking down (and preventing) this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Dynamics CRM Email Router not using proxy

I am trying to set up the CRM Email Router to allow our internally hosted ADX Studio Portal to communicate with our externally hosted Dynamics CRM instance.
I have set up the Configuration profile to meet the requirements of our exchange server and created a deployment to an online service provider with the necessary details.
When I attempt to load the data the Email Router Config Manager states that it was unable to retrieve the data:
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved:
'https://CRM.URL/XrmServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl
When we traced the email router with Fiddler the request receives a 407 Proxy Authentication Required message:
Your credentials could not be authenticated: "Credentials are
missing."
We have tested the Email Router tool on a personal network (with no proxy requirements) and everything works correctly. However once we are on the internal network which requires the proxy the Email Router Config Manager no longer works.
We have tried using the Dynamics CRM SDK and and the crmsvcutil.exe command line tool but are not sure how it actually tells the Email Router what configuration to use.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The only way to resolve this is to add an authentication bypass on proxy server for the server and/or service account of the email router.
You can try add section to email router .config file, with proxy settings. This is .net app, so it should pick it up. I never tried this for email router, but might be worth a shot. look here for details
The answer we received from a MS support technician was "you need to ensure that the proxy will let through (without any modification) any requests to the CRM Web Serviceā€.
We also tried modifying the .config file to include the proxy settings but it didn't work.
We are going to open an official case with MS. Will let you know if we ever get it working.

How to configure the Dynamics CRM 2011 Email Router to delete processed e-mails

Current Situation:
I'm using an incoming e-mail configuration profile pointing to an ExchangeOnline server and using the Exchange web services (EWS). Incoming email is imported into CRM into a queue. All is configured well, the access test passes and the received emails get successfully into the CRM queue etc. So far so good.
Question:
I want the router to delete successfully processed emails from the Exchange mailbox.
What I already tried:
The email router configuration tool doesn't show an option for this to configure in the GUI. So I took a look at the 'Microsoft.Crm.Tools.EmailAgent.xml' file and found the <DeleteEmails>false</DeleteEmails> option. Changing it's value to true should do the trick, I thought. But as soon as the email router does another run, my changed value is reverted back to false again. I tried stopping the service and modify the XML again, but as soon as the service is restarted, again my change is undone. How can I get this value to stay on true? I found one article on the internet mentioning almost the same problem with a the CRM 4 email router and a POP3 mailbox, but that was fixed in some rollup for CRM 4. But now I have the same issue on a CRM 2011 server.
Any help is appreciated!
According to this discussion thread on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community forum, it isn't possible. Deleting e-mails after being processed by the email router only works for forward mailboxes.
CRM can delete emails from a mailbox if it is using forward mailbox. You can achieve this by setting rules in your mailboxes to forward emails to the forwarding mailbox and delete them from the original mailbox. CRM will then download and delete the emails from the forwarding mailbox.
