I tried to configure SMTP setting on LimeSurvey on EC2 cloud. My setting was Gmail setting. I got a message from Gmail stating someone is attempting to logon to my account from USA. I was then asked to confirm that it was me. I did it. But, Sending mail from Limesurvey does not work. I would like to know how to configure SMTP setting on Limesurvey on EC2 cloud.

HAProxy has configuration options to setup email notifications in case of errors. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to configure the email account password for the SMTP connection. Does anyone know how this is possible?
This feature isn't implemented yet http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy.git;a=blob;f=src/mailers.c;h=3df02f0f55759b8340fbbea676dde62e9260e7df;hb=HEAD
Patches are welcome to add this feature.
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.
Is there any way to access the incoming mail of POP3 protocol(from gmail) in whm cpanel?
I have tried all different methods. I couldn't find out.
Any help is appreciated ..
I want to host my own mailserver using my own domain. So far I can see that SMTP needs to be installed and the DNS record has to be modified to point to my mailserver. So far so good. But what about mailaccounts? How do I create mail#mydomain.com with username and password so I can start receiving emails in outlook?
What more does it take to be able to receive mails in outlook now that im done with installing SMTP on my server?
Installing just the smtp service isn't going to get you what you need. In order for users to get their mail you'd need a pop server, or an IMAP server or and exchange server.
What you need is a seperate mail hosting package. Something like Imail from Ipswitch. Or exchange from Microsoft.
SMTP is simply a mail transfer mechanism, it will receive emails for remote SMTP servers and then try an deliver them. It does not handle mailboxes or email accounts, for this you will need a POP3, IMAP or Exchange server.
I am trying to setup windows server 2008 smtp server to relay emails to gmail smtp. Everything appears to be setup but it is not sending emails. Could you please help me figure out whats wrong.
Below is the setup:
Windows server 2008 with SMTP server
feature installed. Need SMTP server
to forward all messages to gmail smtp
server to send.
I have google apps setup for my
domain, also I can send emails
throught my test app using
gmail smtp.
SMTP Server Configuration: By default has default smtp server virtual directory.
In Properties of that virtual smtp server changed following.
Fully qualified domain name = mydomain.com
smart host = smtp.gmail.com
TCP Port = 587
Out Bound Security = Basic Authentication(my username password for google apps email account)
In domains list under virtual smtp server. I have one default domain that's server dns. I added another one for my domain name.
With above setup i am trying to redirect all email to gmail smtp.
I tested connection to smtp.gmail.com from server on port 587 through telnet and it works.
I am trying to use above server from my web application also by just dropping emails in pickup directory. It get's picked up and also accepts request form web application but never sends an email.
I can see that it adds those emails in queue folder but it stays there forever.
When i try to send emails from web app to above server it rejects if To address is other than my domain.(Am i missing something in list of domains)
Thanks for all answers, finally found solution there is a property for maximum sessions which value was 0 by default. Changed it to 100 and it send all pending emails immediately.
Possible reasons are that some SMTP servers block the outgoing messages if there domain name mismatch, possible to prevent spam mails from being sent. So for example, I will not be able to send my email with an address abc#mydomain.com from my domain yourdomain.com.
Hope that helps.
Ensure your sending domain is the same as the google apps domain
Ensure your sending address is a real address and not just an alias
IIRC you need to use STARTTLS (SSL) not basic authentication
This souds like a DNS issue. Check your /badmail directory. It will have .bad and .bdp files in there. You can open these in notepad (there will be some binary in there).
However, it may point to the possible problem.
You may also want to try and enable logging on the SMTP service. There may be something in there.
