Applications Manager is installed.
How to run the SMTP test?

Open command prompt with Admin permission, navigate to
AppManager/bin/troubleshootin
g
directory and execute the SMTPtest using the below usage.
smtpTest.bat
[SMTP Server Address] [Port Number] [Timeout] [User Email(From)] [To Email Address] [Username] [Password] [SSL or TLS]
The below values are mandatory:
[SMTP Server Address]
SMTP Server Address
[Port Number]
Port number of the smtp server
[Timeout]
Time out value in seconds to be used for connecting to SMTP server. Default value is 5 seconds.
Optional values:
[User Email(From)]
Specify FROM Email Address
[To Email Address]
Specify TO Email Address
[Username]
Account Username
[Password]
Account Password
[SSL or TLS]
Specify SSL or TLS for authentication
Note:
Optional fields' values are compulsory for troubleshooting the SMTP Server settings. If there isn't any value for any of the above fields, mention it as empty quotes i.e. "".
->
The SMTP test will initiate the process that discovers the SMTP Server and upon success, you will be able to find if discovery is possible and if data is returned for all attributes or not.
->
In case there are issues for any attribute data, then it'll be shown a
s null which implies that the data is not available in that server and has to be checked in the SMTP running server.
4.) If Telnet itself fails, ensure that you have a proper connection with the mail server and then do the SMTP test.
5.) For more info or assistance, send the SMTP test output for analysis along with
Support Information File.
