Report Emails are not Being Sent
If Report Emails are not being sent:
The SMTP_HOST value in the portal.properties file does not have a running mailer.
In the portal.properties file, you can also set the authentication mode:
#Email
mail.smtp.host=172.16.1.35
mail.smtp.user=reports@domain.com
mail.password=
mail.password.encrypted=psaBt0XMnJU=
mail.smtp.auth=false
mail.from=reports@domain.com
mail.fromName=Aptare Inc.
mail.debug=false
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=false
mail.emailAs=html
For authenticated email, set: mail.smtp.auth=true
As shown in the following table, several properties can be customized:
 
mail.smtp.host
Make sure this references a running mail server.
mail.smtp.auth
Set to true to enable email authentication.
mail.debug
Used for product developers to debug mail transmission issues.
mail.smtp.starttls.enable
The SMTP Transport Layer Security extension—the encryption and authentication protocol. When a client and server that support TLS talk to each other, they can encrypt the data channel to guard against eavesdroppers.
 
Additional Email Troubleshooting Recommendations
