Setting Outbound Email Configuration with Office 365 account

shubham_rana — Mon, 17 May 2021 14:15:56 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to set up an outbound email service for a password reset for users but I am getting the following error

" org.springframework.mail.MailSendException: Mail server connection failed; nested exception is com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com. Failed messages: com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1;"

I am following the following reference to set up the configuration.

https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-deployment/blob/master/helm/alfresco-content-services/README.md

Here is the configuration that I am using.

mail:

host: "smtp.office365.com"

port: "587"

username: "xxxxxx@domain.com"

password: "xxxxxxx"

protocol: "smtp"

smtp:

timeout: 30000

auth: true

starttls:

enable: true

Not sure what am I missing.

The error is clear, it says it can not connect to smtp server listening to port 25.

org.springframework.mail.MailSendException: Mail server connection failed; 
nested exception is com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: 
Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25;

You need to configure a valid smtp server which is open to serve requests from your ACS server. Set the appropriate values in config
