smtp authentication with webapps

Customer Support Customer Only Discussion

Hi all,
Since migration my customers complain that mail from their website is not working anymore.
I have tested this, and indeed it doesn’t work anymore. When the webapp sends smtp to localhost the mail is rejected (5.7.1 Unable to relay for… ).

Seems that smtp service on the webservers does not accept outgoing mail anymore.
Stephen did an announcement (see here) where he sayd that jodo recommends smtp authenticated emailing through the port 587 of the mailserver linked to the domain for webforms.

I tried to configure this, port 587, no-ssl, basic authentication with user/pass from cp user, both on Windows domain (DotNetNuke website) and also on a Unix domain (Joomla site). Both do not work. On Windows-hosted site (DNN) I get a 5.7.1. error “sorry, that domain isn’t allowed to be relayed thru this MTA”.

Anybody knows how to resolve this?

Thanks,
Jan-Pieter

Hello,

do you have a ticket in about it, if not give me a server seeing this, and we’ll check it.

No a ticket yet, as I am trying to get it to work with your recommended route through smtp server.
Of course ok with me if you enable smtp at localhost (webserver) level.

I have the issue at the moment on win22 and web15 (both @cl1).
Thanks, JP

give a try now on win22. 127.0.0.1 was missing in one access control list.
