## TODO: The SMTP mail server used to validate new accounts and send notifications
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.office365.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: test@example.fr
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: password
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false
Any idea how to fix the problem ?
Another config:
## TODO: The SMTP mail server used to validate new accounts and send notifications
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.office365.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: test@example.fr
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: password
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true
I get the following error:
550 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender
The problem is from Discourse, because I can test with swaks and it’s working
Not Suggesting that You use office365 for SMTP but it seems like DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login isn’t required … maybe try commenting that out and try again with STARTTLS set to True?
Okay the problem is now fixed. Huge mistake from my side : the email from Admin → settings → notification email was not the same from the smtp username.
Maybe a check should be made to prevent user to makes this mistake
but it seems like DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login isn’t required
Sadly this solution is not working for me (I also tried to escape the password). I tried it with this SMTP setting problem with Office365 - #5 by ianwhite one which is working. But not everybody gets E-Mails…
If some people get mail then it’s the fault of office365, or their mail provider. The others should check their spam folder, though if they use a service life office365 it will silently drop mail that it thinks is spam.
Sounds like the address you are sending from is not one that the mail server supports. There is a line at the bottom of app.yml that week let you set the notification address. (you can set it in sure settings if you’re logged in)
Or maybe they have VERP enabled so the email address is replies+{key}@example.com instead of the authorized noreply@example.com That was the issue I’ve faced in past while trying to send mails from my own mail server. It’s usually easy to fix though.
