Currently i have an installation on Kentico 8.
I'm trying to configure the SMTP server and i can't seem to find any settings to implicitly set a PORT and Encryption type.
is this possible?
When hovering over the helper tooltip it keeps telling me that i can add more on the Advanced SMTP Server Settings. But where is the
so the question is
Can i implicitly set the PORT and Encryption type?
Where is the Advanced SMTP Server Settings Located?
Port should be entered as a part of the SMTP server name (or IP). I doubt that you can set encryption type somewhere.
Advanced SMTP settings can be found in applications:
Check out the documentation.

How do i find out what SMTP port the corporation i work for has set up for it's email server?
I've tried searching for it via outlook but it doesn't give me the option.
I'm looking for an answer that i'll be able to do via cmd.
Posting this question here so future individuals who are in my position will know what to do
The default SMTP port for most mail servers is port 25; either that or port 587 if you are using explicit SSL. If you are using implicit SSL, then it is port 465. You should be able to discover the port through Outlook; here is an article: https://www.doteasy.com/domain-email-and-website-hosting-articles/how-to-update-your-smtp-port-ssl-settings-and-smtp-authentication
If like me you work for a large company, the issue is that IT are blocking the ports. You need to go and have a word with the IT department to get it fixed.
I have a web app that sends email via SMTP (Gmail, Zoho Mail servers). The thing is, the email sending works in my localhost but not on my VPS (using WHM).
I contacted support and the guy replied:
If your VPS has ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) installed then this would
most likely be causing the problem. As it is working on localhost but
not externally this certainly sounds like it might be the case. You
will need to review the firewall configuration on the VPS and ensure
hose ports are allowed outbound.
But when it comes to server management and configuration, I'm totally lost. I did check the CSF settings page on WHM but not sure where to start.
Any recommendation or solution would be appreciated.
You have to allow outgoing traffic to ports 25, 465, 587 and in the case of Mandrill 2525 as will. You should actually be fine enabling only the one you will connect to. So:
sudo vim /etc/csf/csf.conf
add 25,2525,465,587 to TCP_OUT, and to TCP6_OUT if you use IPv6.
You might also need to remove that ports from SMTP_PORTS if you have SMTP_BLOCK enabled (if it is set to 1).

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'm working with parallels plesk panel (here 11.5 on centOS 6.4) since 2 years and i got a problem yesterday:
My server refuse connection from my mail client.
Client (outlook) & DNS : http://i.stack.imgur.com/bCxxs.jpg
And smtp plesk configuration: http://i.stack.imgur.com/cnvPo.jpg
They are using same authentification method, no ssl, default port... I don't understand
-
I turned off the firewall while I have problems.
I tried to switch postfix/qmail it doesn't work. I don't understand why it accept mail from the webmail located on the server but not on clients.
Some help will be welcome
It may be a DNS issue..
Depending on your hosting provider, you original settings may have been changed on their end. ICANN may also be changing their DNS policies as well.
Adding this to your DNS records...
webmail.yourdomain.com. 600 A yourIP
I am running Jenkins on RHEL6 in a tomcat container. My computer is behind my company proxy, which I have defined in the Plugins configuration tab. I can download plugins so that works (at least for port 8080, that is).
I am now trying to configure an SMTP server. I am trying with my localhost SMTP server but cannot get it to work, so I decided to debug first using something that should work (gmail). I have set SMTP server to "smtp.gmail.com" and port "465". I have tried with ports 25, 587 too. I get response:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com;
nested exception is:
java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.gmail.com
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1932)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:638)
What could be wrong?
Java Mail does not support the use of HTTP Proxies; http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-135477.html#proxy
However;
If your proxy server supports the SOCKS V4 or V5 protocol
(http://www.socks.nec.com/aboutsocks.html, RFC1928) and allows
anonymous connections, and you're using JDK 1.5 or newer and JavaMail
1.4.5 or newer, you can configure a SOCKS proxy on a per-session, per-protocol basis by setting the "mail.smtp.socks.host" property as
described in the javadocs for the com.sun.mail.smtp package. Similar
properties exist for the "imap" and "pop3" protocols.
As an alternative, you could setup an MTA on the local machine such as postfix or sendmail which will accept connections on localhost and may be more configurable than Java to punch through the proxy configuration.
Note: If you company blocks connections on non-http ports (eg anything apart from 80, 8080, 443) then you may need to find another solution, perhaps getting some support from your local system administrators.
Also; If you want to be clever, you can setup a (Temporary) socks proxy using ssh with the following command;
ssh -D 9090 <remoteserver>
This assumes that the remoteserver has unrestricted access, and you can point connecting clients that can cope with SOCKS to localhost : 9090.
This happens because of Gmail security...
just allow access to your gmail account via apps go to under your account:
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
and it will work .. smtp.gmail.com is correct.No need to change it.
Also don't forget to check internet connection as well.
