Topic: [SOLVED] sme8 egroupware can't sent message : smtp error

[globalsi]

Hi,

I have a problem with egroupware 1.8 on my SME 8.1 (64bits).
The installation (http://wiki.contribs.org/Egroupware) was clean, no problems 

Via the webmail (horde), I can send an email from user1@domain1.aaa to user2@domaine2.bbb. 
Via egroupware, I can't send this message : "smtp error: could not connect to SMTP host." 

Do you have any idea what's wrong ?

Thank's for help.

Edit : oops, wrong folder, this topic must be under sme8/contribs. Can a admin move this topic ? thks.

moving to SME 8.x Contribs as requested

The error message is the clue.
IIRC go into the admin user config screens in egroupware & configure the global &/or per user global smtp server settings.
Look & you will find it. Been a while since I used it so cannot be more specific, other than to say you really need to set egroupware up correctly & thoroughly before using it. Installation of the contrib is really step 1.

Hi,

thks for your post.

I think i have a correct configuration in https://myipsmeserveur/egroupware/setup/config.php :
hostname or IP adress of POP/IMAP mail server :    localhost
Mail server protocol:    IMAP
login type to  mail server:    standard
Domain email (for Virtual mail manager):    myrealdomain.com
hostname or IP adress for SMTP server:    localhost
port SMTP server:    587
user for SMTP 'authentification (empty if authentification isn't required):    
password for SMTP authentification:    



THe configuration of SME https://myipsmeserveur/server-manager/  Configuration/E-mail/ e-mail delivery settings/SMTP server is :
Address of Internet provider's mail server    :
SMTP Authentication for Internet provider    :Disabled
Mail server user id    :
Mail server password    :


So i don't undertstand why i can send email from the webmail horde et not from egroupware...

You have just told egroupware where to find the mail server.

IIRC login to egroupware as the admin user or a user with admin rights.
Then go into the admin user config screens in egroupware & configure the global &/or per user global smtp server settings.

ok janet,

I login to egroupware as the admin user
I go to admin/emailadmin (https://myipsmeserver/egroupware/index.php?menuaction=emailadmin.emailadmin_ui.index)
I can see the default profile created by setup :

ID : 1
Description : default profile (created by setup)
Domain name : myrealdomain.com
SMTP server ,ame : localhost
SMTP Server Type : Serveur SMTP standard
SMTP Server Port : 587
IMAP server name : localhost
IMAP Server Type : Serveur IMAP standard
Port IMAP : 143
IMAP Server Login Type : Standard
Application : any applications
Group :
User :
Order :
Active    : 1

When I edit the profile, i can see in SMTP tab :
Select type of SMTP server : Standard SMTP server (emailadmin_smtp)
SMTP settings
SMTP server hostname or IP address    : localhost
SMTP server port    : 587
SMTP authentication
Use SMTP authentication    : No
Send using this email address    
Username    
Password

i can't see where something is wrong...

Try setting the smtp server port to 0 (instead of 587). My configuration is set in that way.

[globalsi]

yes !
well done Frank VB ! and thank you 

This is ok now.

It would be great to add this tips in the wiki no ?
