Hi,
LR version 7.2 GA1
We are trying to configure SMTP settings to send out emails from Form on portal.
However, the emails are not sent with Authentication Error.
Below are settings in portal-ext.properties

mail.session.mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.session.mail.smtp.host=smtp.sendgrid.net
mail.session.mail.smtp.password=********
mail.session.mail.smtp.port=587
mail.session.mail.smtp.user=something@azure.com
mail.transport.protocol=smtp
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
Error Log

Am I missing something in the property file?

Thanks .

Hi,

However, the emails are not sent with Authentication Error.
According to the portal.properties documentation, those should be all.
What you can do is: Alternatively configure a connection on your appserver, and make it available through mail.session.jndi.name - this way you can test the connection on the appserver, plus you're not saving a cleartext password in Liferay's configuration.
Another idea: You've (correctly) masked out your password - make sure it doesn't contain anything nasty for the properties-formatting: E.g. if the password ends in a backslash, that might signal a linebreak in the properties file, instead of the literal character. I'm also never sure if/how/when something like \t is expanded to the tab character. Let alone other non-ASCII characters.

Hi Shruti,

Send Grid mail servers run on SMTPS protocols, if you change the mail.transport.protocol=smtp to mail.transport.protocol=smtps that should do the trick. Let me know if you need more information on this.
