email settings

[Alexis T]

Hello,
I'm still looking to configure Meteobridge to send automatically mail. I didn't succeed so far to find the right settings and to send a test mail. I'm using outlook as mai provider.
If you have any idea, it would be great.
Thanks

Then can you provide a screen shot of the configuration/s you have tried which don't work

You will find what I've tried. Where mentioned email, it is replaced by my current mail adress where I want to send.

You will most likely not succeed anywhere today without authentication and using port 25. Also, you are trying to send mail to the incoming server. That is where you read mails, so to say. You should use a SMTP-server for sending mail.

On this site, you can find how to use Outlook's servers:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/off ... 414e2aa040

SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com
SMTP port 587
SMTP encryption method STARTTLS

The key variables are going to be the SMTP, Port & Authentication which will be closely related to your actual Outlook email system. If you are using Outlook 365 then the SMTP can be different to the standard Outlook?

For now in the other boxes I would use something like the following just to distinguish what goes where in the email

User: MBPro-Test
To-Addr: your-email@outlook.com
From-Addr: noreply-MBPro-test@outlook.com

The To-Addr example is assuming your email is purely a @outlook.com version and needs to match with the SMTP
The From-Addr example doesn't need to be real but at least in email type format
