Hi, i´m trying to set up SMTP alerts on Ip office Server edition with a gmail account. I'm using smtp.gmail.com on port 465 with authentication enabled and the credentials are properly loaded. When i initiate test alarms smtp service wakes up, but after establishing connection it closes.

Testin with openssl on port 465 I get a 220 response wich indicates a successfull connection as far as I know.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
 
Have you got Less Secure Apps setup in your Gmail account?
Try Port 587

I have that and it works great.

 
You need to have StartTLS checked under SMTP and use port 587 like Nortel4Ever stated and check the gmail account less secure apps has to be enabled. If a single email fails you need to reboot the system it will simply queue messages after one fails till rebooted (never found a way for it to try again other then rebooting).

The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
 
Thanks a LOT! that was it the port and STARTTLS. I had to create a password for apps that dont support double authentication.

That did it!
Thanks again!
 
Glad you got it working and thanks for the pink appreciate it.

I created another app password in gmail... and up to this point there seems to be connection with the smtp server.

Any ideas?
 
It is odd you are getting a TLS certificate error because you are using port 587 which should be StartTLS not TLS. In manager, under SMTP, you have StartTLS checked?

The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
 
Yes, i have it checked. Everything is configured the same way as the expansion wich was the first device i got working thanks to your comments. The only difference is the password of course wich was created for the server in particular.
 
When you say the server has a different password I assuming you mean the password to log into the IPO is different for each box? If so that shouldn't make a difference.

The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
 
I mean the password for the gmail account assigned to the server for the smtp functionality. I created a specific app password as I did for the expansion.
 
I have never created a specific app password. Simply turning on allow less secure apps and using the login credentials for the account has always worked for me.

The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
 
In my experience as soon as you enable Less Secure Apps, you are automatically presented with a specific password. You still use your Google user name, but use the Less Secure Apps password that you were assigned when you enabled that feature.

 
I have never had to set a less secure apps password either or been given one.

The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
 
Regardless of that i don´t think it has to do with the authentication instance of the whole process.. because i get a connection to the smtp server but get rejected after it sends the data for the mail as seen here:
