Topic: email issue

[jameswilson]

I have upgraded an 8 machine to 9 and changed (i forget which) some of the email settings.
Some of the websites use this server via smtp auth on prt 25 plain
But i cant seem to get it to work. I think i have entered all the correrct settings but on mxtoolbox.com it is showing

Code: [Select]

Connecting to 81.143.33.107

SendSMTPCommand: Timeout waiting for response after 15 seconds.

PWS3v2 16955ms
Also setting thunderbird to use port 25 and plain auth times out.

Thanks

[Stefano]

ok..

I read your first post again..

IIUC, you have some websites that use your SME server to send email using plain auth on port 25.. am I right? no TLS?

[Daniel B.]

SME Server does not allow auth over a plaintext connection with the default settings. You can set it back, but it's not recommended, and insecure. Anyway, still possible:

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop qpsmtpd TlsBeforeAuth 0
signal-event email-update


[jameswilson]

Thanks
Ive tried that but I still cant use thunderbird on port 25. I have a ticket system running on a remote webserver that uses my sme to send emails etc. Can I add a static IP to allow relay from that webserver?

Please the Thunderbird error console. It could be that TB is picky about certificates and therefore refusing to cooperate.
