Using SMTP server to dispatch emails

[soundsessential]

Is this still the current method to switch email dispatch about success/failure of syncs to use a specified SMTP server?

 

Many thanks.

I haven't changed that since the last time we talked about it, so I'm pretty sure it should still work.

Thanks again Jesse. I found the section in the xml file and added the credentials etc. However, the email system uses port 587 TLS. Can this handle that? I know it's trying to work because the usual sync notice emails have stopped coming in. I've tried putting SMTPS, ESMTPS and STARTTLS in the transport value but none of them seem to be working. I know that the email system is accepting emails from the server because notifications from the FM Admin Console are set to go out using exactly the same details. Any tips or logging that can be turned on to see the issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tired 'smtps' (lowercase)?

If so, send me a private message with that whole section of the MirrorSync.xml file (with passwords blanked out)
