SMTP, mail.smtp.auth=false still authenticates

wootapa — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 09:37:04 GMT

Hi. I've used below SMTP settings before with CE 4.2 with success.However, with 5.0a I get AuthenticationFailedException. Am I missing something or does the mailsystem not respect the mail.smtp.auth flag?I've tried with empty username/password and without them, but no luck.### SMTP Settings ###mail.

Hi,
Have you try to telnet test to your mail server directly? [1]
From the log shows that the authentication process is fail.
" Caused by: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6"

Hi billidekid. Yes I have, but perhaps you misunderstood… as the config says, there shouldn't be any authentication at all.

Hi, I mean you could prove by telnet that your mail server is allowing unauthenticated account to use your mail/SMTP services or not.
CMIIW.

I had similar problems.
This is the way I got things running again:

mail.protocol=smtp
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.host=my.inbox.com
mail.port=25
mail.username=xxx@inbox.com
mail.password=yyy
