I've been trying unsuccessfully for a week now to setup the email server for dspace. Originally, I was using 1.5.2 but someone mentioned the dspace test-email function that was only in 1.6.0. For this reason I intalled a fresh version of 1.6.0. I'm now attempting to get the email working but am only getting errors. There are two main errors I get but I'm not sure what they mean. Also, I've censored my domain name and user-name/password for security purposes, but they are correct in my configuration.
*Here is my dspace.cfg mail configuration:* *##### Email settings ###### # SMTP mail server mail.server=mail.mydomain.org # SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required) mail.server.username = myusername mail.server.password = mypassword # SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25) mail.server.port = 25 # From address for mail mail.from.address = [email protected] # Currently limited to one recipient! feedback.recipient = [email protected] # General site administration (Webmaster) e-mail mail.admin = [email protected] # Recipient for server errors and alerts # alert.recipient = [email protected] # Recipient for new user registration emails # registration.notify = [email protected] # Set the default mail character set. This may be over ridden by providing a line # inside the email template "charset: <encoding>", otherwise this default is used. #mail.charset = UTF8 # A comma separated list of hostnames that are allowed to refer browsers to email forms. # Default behaviour is to accept referrals only from dspace.hostname #mail.allowed.referrers = localhost # Pass extra settings to the Java mail library. Comma separated, equals sign between # the key and the value. # mail.extraproperties = mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465, \ # mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory, \ # mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false # An option is added to disable the mailserver. By default, this property is set to false # By setting mail.server.disabled = true, DSpace will not send out emails. # It will instead log the subject of the email which should have been sent # This is especially useful for development and test environments where production data is used when testing fun$ #mail.server.disabled = false # Default language for metadata values default.language = en_US * *Here is the error I receive with this configuration when running dspace test-email:* *About to send test email: - To: [email protected] - Subject: DSpace test email - Server: mail.mydomain.org Error sending email: - Error: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 451 Temporary local problem - please try later Please see the DSpace documentation for assistance.* *I*'*ve tried changing the port to 465 and this changes the error message to:* *About to send test email: - To: [email protected] - Subject: DSpace test email - Server: mail.mydomain.org Error sending email: - Error: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: mail.mydomain.org, port: 465, response: -1 Please see the DSpace documentation for assistance. * Is one of these closer to the right configuration? What does the error message indicate and what can I do to fix it? Thanks for your help.
