Hi,

Were you able to send e-mail from smtp.mail.ru by another client app?
(You can try to use google mail server instead.)

Thank you for quick reply!

Yes, it's own client app works fine.
I also checked google mail server. I got the same error.

I think the problem is on my side.
The problem is that there is no any mail configuration guide, instead "Mail configuration" chapter in official userguide, which explains not all the aspects. And it's not inconceivable that possibly it is just some simple thing that is usually not written

Now I successfully connected to smtp.mail.ru:465 with ssl in Outlook and could successfully send e-mail.
So I more than confident that problem in my side.

Hi,
I added an example of activiti.cfg.xml, which definitely works with my email provider gmx, please s. attachment. The file activiti.cfg.xml is deployed when deploying our application to the server.
There is also the same set of properties in activiti-standalone-context.xml, which is contained in activiti-explorer.war. I also maintained the properties there. The Activiti Explorer is always deployed to the server in our case, but I do not know whether it fits yours.
I am not a great expert, but this is what works.
Best regards,
MIG
