Hello Are you trying to use gmail? Create the "app password" inside Gmail settings https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords Our institution uses Google Workspace with the same settings below (in this case, you should use your own domain instead of gmail.com) Here is our local.cfg Version 7.6.5
# SMTP mail server (allows DSpace to send email notifications) mail.server = smtp.gmail.com # SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required) mail.server.username = [email protected] mail.server.password = yourapppassword # SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25) mail.server.port = 587 # From address for mail # All mail from the DSpace site will use this 'from' address mail.from.address = [email protected] (the same as in mail.server.username) We had some strange TLS issues some time ago. I found this line in a forum and it solved the problem #fix starttls error mail.extraproperties = mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true Hope it helps you Sorry for any english mistake, lol Em seg., 23 de mar. de 2026 às 12:06, Daniel Ochieng <[email protected]> escreveu: > Hello! > Kindly help me with email config in my DSpace 8.
