SMTP Setup Wont Work

ReviewBoard
#1

Hi,

I’m using a SMTP relay server to send email. All server application must use this relay server to send emails. I configured a lot of other applications using this SMTP relay and they all work. The only configuration on the relay is to

I only have an IP address and a port for configuration (No username/No password). The only other setting required to make this work on my network is to allow sender server (ip or name) on the relay, which is already done.

But when I check the “Send a test e-mail after saving” option, I immediately receive a “Failed to send test e-mail.” message. In the apache logs, I have the following:

ReviewBoard + PowerPack 3.0.14
VMDK
I only modified configs available on admin web pages of ReviewBoard. No plugins (Other that the power pack)

I’ve run the tool but this server does not have Internet access. And because I’m a new user, I cannot upload the zip file here.

What part of the generated zip file do you need for proper investigation ? I’ll copy/paste the file content as a reply here.

Thank you

Oups, the end of the first paragraph of my original question is missing… But this last sentence can be deleted :wink:

Hi @plangevin,

We have this guide in our documentation to explain how to configure SMTP in this application, did you configure the SMTP settings following it?

https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/reviewboard-plus-powerpack/configuration/configure-smtp/

From these lines, it seems that the connection was closed. That can be caused by multiple reasons. We suggest you contact the developers of the application or a forum related with the SMTP server you are using to get more information about the issue.

Do not hesitate to write us back if you have any other questions about the Bitnami solution
