Error sending emails with Exchange

Software Support
1

I use Exchange 2013 and do not allow me to send emails, Ojs version 3.1.1, in the account I have active Relay

This is our configuration:

; Use SMTP for sending mail instead of mail()
smtp = On

; SMTP server settings
smtp_server = correo.midomain.edu.ec
smtp_port = 25

; Enable SMTP authentication
; Supported mechanisms: ssl, tls
smtp_auth = ssl
;smtp_username = “”
;smtp_password = “”

; Allow envelope sender to be specified
; (may not be possible with some server configurations)
allow_envelope_sender = On

Thank you !

Hi @freddy,

I haven’t used Exchange specifically, but those settings don’t look right – for SSL, your port is probably not 25; also, you’ll probably need to provide credentials.

Hi Alec, please tell me in what directory the OJS LOGs are stored, in order to see the error in the mailing?

Hi @freddy,

OJS logs its errors in the PHP error log. There’s a FAQ entry for information on how to find this. If nothing is logged there, and you don’t see an error message when you try to send a message, it’s likely that your mail server is accepting the messages but failing to deliver them; you might need to check your mail server’s log to debug that.
