It shouldn't need it unless your environment requires it, which yours must. Mine is set up without authentication.
You may have to work with your IT team to figure out why you are getting rejected. The mail server might just be rejecting anything from the Jenkins server IP or at least something in that IP range. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sairam Sankaran" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 3:02:36 PM Subject: Re: Jenkins email notification setup - company domain / james not working Yes. I have tried w/o authentication. I am unable to move past the config page because the test fails. I think it needs authentication. Because when I tried it with gmail, it failed w/o authentication and worked when I supplied it.

And does it fail even when you try using the test checkbox and send an email from the config page?

Things I have tried: 1) Use my company smtp mail server with authentication - does not work. Connection refused. I am able to telnet from jenkins server machine. 2) Setup my own James mail server. SMTP server - localhost. Authentication - admin,admin. Port 25. I see that my SMTP server is running. - does not work. Connection refused. I am able to telnet from jenkins server machine. 3) Use my personal gmail account with authentication - Works!!! I have followed other discussions on this topic but not got an answer. Some say it may be a firewall issue but I am not sure how to overcome it. Any suggestions are most welcome. Notes: Error message: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Thanks, Sairam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
