[User question] MAIL send config #52

Question:

I am tring to create an admin note on bambooBsc but after creating it the notification is not being sent to email . Attached below is the pic of the Tomcat notification after refusing to send and the notification i am reffering to.

Wishing to hear from you at your earliest convenience

email notification

admin note

Ans:

  1. check and modify success config applicationContext-mail.properties
  2. use 11 - Settings default mail account in Mail from field.

Example my os is FreeBSD with Send-mail(SMTP) is my local PC (freeBSD) mail service. my SEND-Mail(SMTP) service default mail account is root and password is password123

my applicationContext-mail.properties config is :

mail.host=localhost mail.port=25 mail.username=root mail.password=password123

and My bambooBSC 11 - Settings default mail account in Mail from field value is root@localhost

The mail SMTP cannot use Google-mail or Yahoo-mail ... recommend use SEND-MAIL or self install thirdparty SMTP service.
