Email server and other email related settings

scottwest_net 2015-03-12 11:22:22 UTC #1

I'm installing OSQA on a Google cloud serve using the "Bitnami Launchpad for Google Cloud Platform". All is going great, until I attempt, what should be an elementary task. What am I doing wrong (see screen capture)? For the life of me, I can't figure it out. Any advise would be appreciated.

Jota,

Thank you for your response. I'm doing something wrong. I'd like to use the email address associated with my domain name :******@askpotus.c*m. I can use my gmail address if I don't figure this out. I'm enclosing a screenshot. I believe I'm doing something very simple wrong, I guess i"m not as smart as once thought. Please take a look (https://s3.amazonaws.com/fvd-data/notes/89705/1426229442-savp6B/screen.png)

Hi @scottwest_net,

have you set correctly the SMTP port? And the SMTP server? The 587 port is the default port of a gmail account and we set that port in our guide because it's a guide about how to configure a gmail account and the SMTP server is the domain name (or IP) of your SMTP server and it's not a mail account.

I hope this helps.
