I need to evaluate notification functionality in confluence.
I have installed confluence locally on my PC.
I have configured mail server in it by going to General Configuration->Mail Servers->Add a new SMTP mail server
I have provided smtp.office365.com as Server Host Name and 587 as Server port.
I have used my company user id as User name and corresponding password.
However when I try to send a test mail, it fails with below exception
"Caused by: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.office365.com, port: 587" and also we have tried to configure our smtp server and getting error as "Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect"
I have seen accepted answers for this question at post https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/139025/error-while-configuring-mail-server
However that is related to a bug Java1.7 whereas I am using Java1.8.
Can someone please suggest any idea what thing can be wrong?
Looking at the hostname it seems that the mail server is in the internet. If you are behind a proxy you will need to configure this in the java options as described here

I am configuring msmtprc smtp to send an outbound email and having a trouble with office365. It's working fine with Gmail account, but I am getting the following error with office 365.
msmtp: authentication failed (method LOGIN)
msmtp: server message: 535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful [BN6PR13CA0016.namprd13.prod.outlook.com]
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /etc/msmtprc)

Does anyone successfully use Msmtprc with office365?
Thank you.
I've been successfully using msmtp fine for quite some time, using the following settings (on a CentOS 7 box), but with the config in $HOME/.msmtprc since it's just for my user rather than globally:
account default
host smtp.office365.com
port 587
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
tls_certcheck on
auth on
user username#example.com
passwordeval pass office365.com
from username#example.com
logfile ~/.msmtp.d/msmtp.log
..so this is 99% the same as yours except that instead of having the password in the file I'm using passwordeval to provide it via the output of the given command.
Perhaps multiple spaces between password and the password itself is causing the spaces to be added to the start of the password?
You could also try running msmtp so that it has a controlling terminal (i.e. run from the shell rather than via the service manager as with systemctl) to test whether providing it the password that way works as expected?
I have a very curious issue with an application. When debugging locally, I can send emails just fine using a client's G Suite email credentials:
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="client#customdomain.com">
<network defaultCredentials="false"
host="smtp.gmail.com"
port="587"
userName="client#customdomail.com"
password="supersecret"
enableSsl="true" />
</smtp>
Now, it's very important to note that the application will send just fine with the credentials when running on localhost using Visual Studio. However, when deploying to LIVE and using the exact same credentials, the application refuses to send and I only get the canned response back saying "Failure Sending mail".
I have enabled "less secure applications" in the settings and have verified the "suspicious activity" from the server's IP address. I can also log in to the Gmail account from the server using RDP and opening Firefox to go to Gmail.com.
No firewall rule has been set to block SMTP or anything on port 587.
UPDATE: the materialized error message is
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 74.125.192.108:587
74.125.192.108 being smtp.gmail.com's IP Address (or one of them, at least)
UPDATE 2: I can also not get Thunderbird on the remote server to send an email using the supplied credentials, however it can connect via IMAP and download the contents of the inbox just fine.
Well in this very specific case, it was the fault of the Amazon infrastructure this application ran on. Either amazon themselves, or the reseller changed a policy that ended up blocking communications on ports 465, 587 and 993 (and probably others too).
The "solution" was to nag them to sort it out.
I have configured SCIM inbound provisioning in pingfederate 7.2.0 using Active Directory as an user store. But when I hit the URL exposed by ping to search for an user I get the following error on the browser-
{ "totalResults":0,"itemsPerPage":0,"startIndex":0,
"errors":[{"description":"User and/or certificate not found","code":"401"}]
}
In the logs it says
11:34:29,251 DEBUG [Authenticator] AuthnInfo: ID='null' cert:false
basic:false from CERT:'null' BASIC:'null' 11:34:29,251 ERROR [UsersIdResource]
Unable to find a connection associated with the username/password and/or
certificate passed in with the request.
11:34:29,252 DEBUG [TrackingIdSupport] [cross-reference-message]

Can someone please help me with this?
I was having this exact same issue. I set up my Provisioning connection correctly, and it worked in other environments, and everything looked good. But then I got this error. If I changed the Basic Auth to a bad password, the error message at least changed to "Bad Password for <user>".
I took another look at my connection and realized I never actually activated the connection:
Sending mail results in error "Relay access denied".
It throws "Relay access denied", whenever I tried to send mail to "other_domain" from "outside_network".
It works just fine for "myown_domain" from "outside/inside_network" and to "other_domain" from "inside_network".
Here is the list of telnet commands.
mail from:myself#mydomain.com
- 250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to:yourself#mydomain.com
- 250 2.1.5 Ok
rcpt to:yourself#yourdomain.com
- 554 5.7.1 <yourself#yourdomain.com>: Relay access denied.
rcpt to:yourself#gmail.com
- 554 5.7.1 <yourself#gmail.com>: Relay access denied.
rcpt to:yourself#yahoo.com
- 554 5.7.1 <yourself#yahoo.com>: Relay access denied.
I followed all the steps described in "Microsoft Support" and make sure that server configured in correct way and it do not reject any mail. I also tried to trace through using couple of blogs like this one.
While using MxToolbox also got the same result "Relay access denied".
As "Relay access denied" is very common issue.. there are lot of blogs/documentation are there.. I tried to read all, but I think I am looking in wrong place.
Does anybody have any suggestion?
If it is giving you relay access denied when you are trying to send an email from outside your network to a domain that your server is not authoritative for then it means your receive connector does not grant you the permissions for sending/relaying. Most likely what you need to do is to authenticate to the server to be granted the permissions for relaying but that does depend upon the configuration of your receive connector. In Exchange 2007/2010/2013 you would need to enable ExchangeUsers permission group as well as an authentication mechanism such as Basic authentication.
Once you're sure your receive connector is configured make sure your email client is configured for authentication as well for the SMTP server. It depends upon your server setup but normally for Exchange you would configure the username by itself, no need for the domain to appended or prefixed to it.
To test things out with authentication via telnet you can go over my post here for directions: https://jefferyland.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/essential-exchange-troubleshooting-send-email-via-telnet/
Configuring $mail->SMTPAuth = true; was the solution for me. The reason why is because without authentication the mail server answers with 'Relay access denied'. Since putting this in my code, all mails work fine.
I'm using THUNDERBIRD as a MUA and I have same issues.
I solved adding the IP address of my home PC on mynetworks parameter on main.cf
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 MyIpAddress
P.S. I don't have a static ip for my home PC so when my ISP change it I ave to adjust every time.
Set your SMTP auth to true if using the PHPmailer class:
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
In my web application I have created a mail sender class and set the configurations of web.config file like this:
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="PickupDirectoryFromIis">
<network host="smtp.domain.com"
port="587"
userName="mail#domain.com"
password="password"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
This is sending email. But SQL Server database mail can not send mail with the same account info.
Only one difference is PickupDirectoryFromIis .
Is there any setting on exchange server?
In the SQL Server Logs the errors are following.
Message
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail
server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2012-09-30T16:55:04).
Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (The SMTP server
requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The
server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated).
Looks like this is a Authentication issue or port no issue.
Authentication Issue:
—————————-
Please make sure you have put the information as explained below:
Server name: smtp.gmail.com ( this is really important)
port no: 587 ( on many website this is given as 465 which is wrong, use 587 )
Check : This server requires a secure connection
Check Basic Authentication
username: youremailid#gmail.com ( should have gmail.com)
password: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
confirm password: confirm your password
Port No Issue:
——————–
Make sure port 587 is opened in your machine if you are following above example. If you are using any other port number (usually its port 25) to set up database mail in your office, make sure you speak with your security team and ask them to unblock port 25. Once they unblock port 25, your databasemail will work.
Network Connectivity:
—————————–
Also check network connectivity from your machine, if you can connect to internet from your machine on which you are testing your database mail. To test, do the following
Start- Run- type cmd – Hit Enter
Type ping gmail.com -t and then hit enter.
If output displays as Request timed out, it actually means there is network connectivity problem. Otherwise, your network connectivity is good.
