SMTP Setup

[Nikhil Sood, geändert vor 9 Jahren.]

I have configured SMTP based on instructions from Liferay documentation and various forum discussions.

I am using Liferay 6.2 CE. I don't get any error in telnet smtp.gmail.com 465. Now I am getting javamail authentication failure error. I have doubly confirmed that the gmail account credentials are correct, and I am able to login to the account using same credentials.

Appreciate any advice here.

Hi Nikhil,

as your telnet connection is working it's not a firewall issue. I would try adding "starttls=true" property.

I'm not sure google allows to use the actual account password that you use to log in on the website. Try setting up Thunderbird with the same parameters to get more interactive behaviour. You might need an application password to use google's SMTP rather than the webmail & account login password.

Hi Nikhil,

Google sometimes blocks the login attempt made from application taking it as a threat.
you can login to security.google.com and tell google that the attempt made was by you and unblock it.

thanks

Thanks Guys!

Basically I was using the same email address for testing, and google considered it as a potential attack, and hence blocked the address. The problem was resolved with different TO email addresses, and smtp is working as expected.
