[Deploying Sakai] Authentication is required (sending outgoing email when adding a user to a site)

[Lee Evan Jimenez]

Thanks guys for your responses.

I tried installing 2.6.2 at home locally and used the same setting for the smtp at ...EmailService=mail.xxx.com, still got the '550 authentication required' exception. I concluded only when it's inside our office network that the email notification works even in a local Sakai instance. 

I may have to enable smtp in the cle.xxx.com where the production Sakai is hosted and use it.
(Just a note: cle.xxx.com is another domain, not a subdomain of xxx.com. It's like trying to use the smtp of another domain. This could be the reason why it's throwing 'authentication required'. I thought it was possible since I read some pages about using gmail mail server)

FYI:
I'm am using Sakai 2.6.2 . My smtp server did not require authentication initially and I was able to use outgoing mail. Now, my smtp server does require authentication and I am still able to use outgoing mail with no changes. 


If you are using Sakai Sakai 2.6.0, I'd recommend using 2.6.2. It will solve a number of issues.

If this is the case, 
1.0.12 is the kernel for sakai 2.6.1. 
1.0.13 is the kernel for sakai 2.6.2.

You may also be seeing this bug:



http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-229



depending on which version of 2.6 you are running. It is noted as fixed in kernel 1.0.12 but I'm not sure if that corresponds to 2.6.0, 2.6.1 or 2.6.2.

Hello,



smtp authentication was not added until 2.7 [1]. I don't know of any attempt

to backport it to 2.6 but it would require a custom kernel build if you'd

needed it in an older version. Your options are to use an smtp server that

doesn't require authentication, backport the feature and do a custom build

or upgrade to 2.7.
