> @awasum @francisguchie Default port and the host are 25 and smtp.gmail.com respectively. Is this correct? Gmail smtp server uses 587 & 465 ports to send email. Should we change these values accordingly? @BLasan originally, it was set as such , where fineract was ignoring the set port and i created an issue [here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-1070) Even if use sets the following, MifosX will not send emails 1- Configure the server on which mifos is installed to be able to send Emails - One can do this by installing sSMTP on the server and testing email sending on the command line 2- if using a gmail address only ports 465 and 587 will work because port 25 is by default disabled on google servers This includes very many other VPS / Mail servers 3- Configure the port under the Email External Services Configuration one will still get the error below 03-Jul-2020 19:59:41.251 SEVERE [https-jsse-nio-443-exec-18] com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponse.mapMappableContainerException The RuntimeException could not be mapped to a response, re-throwing to the HTTP container org.apache.fineract.infrastructure.core.service.PlatformEmailSendException: org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException: Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:25 at org.apache.fineract.infrastructure.core.service.GmailBackedPlatformEmailService.sendDefinedEmail(GmailBackedPlatformEmailService.java:81) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
