Could you please provide printer model and firmware version?
In recent years I never found so few settings about SMTP into several printers (mostly Brother, Kyocera and clones, Xerox, Canon).
At least port specificatin, SSL or TLS, sender, authentication method are options available from ten years.
Which according to the Readme file is the latest available for the product.
Would you please consider to post the screenshot of the setting page? In english language…
Did you evaluate the option to go a bit deeper with the TELNET interface? A lot of JetAdmin devices have more options via telnet/SSH
Make sure the mail server definition is configured in Cockpit manager.
Make sure the user myuser@mydomain.ca is a defined user.
Make sure the IP address of the printer is on the same IP network as the mail server and the masks are the same.
If there is a gateway parameter for the printer, make sure it is the IP of the mail server.
=> Bad sender address syntax
For the IP address, try 10.101.1.2
TESTING:
ncat -v -u smtp.10.101.1.2 587
Ncat: Version 7.50 ( https://nmap.org/ncat ) (STANDARD OUTPUT LINE OF ncat)
Ncat: Connected to 10.101.1.2:587. (=> OUTPUT OF ncat IF CONNECTION IS OK)
(if there is a problem, the above line will be replaced with the corresponding problem)
quit (TO QUIT ncat)
Ncat: Connection refused.
EDIT:
You might have to specify a FQDN address for the mail server in the printer config:
Really appreciate your reply! I’m unsure how to make sure my server definition is configured in Cockpit manager and that my user is a defined user. Can you provide some details on how I check these?
Wow! I really appreciate your reply @michelandre !
How safe is it to enable ‘Accept unknown recipients’? And would this setting allow me to send email from an internal (to our network) application through our Nethserver mail server?
And if this is enabled but I’ve only opened the required mail ports to allow my mail server to function, will anyone outside our office be able to utilize this ‘Accept unknown recipients’ and send mail through our mail server?
This will accept all mail received but will send the “unknown recipient” mail to the specified user in “Deliver to”. All other mail, to real recipients, will be send to the corresponding user.
That way, people will not know if the recepient does’t exist.
It should if the application is configured correctly. Example: Thunderbird.
By default, the mail ports are opened.
‘Accept unknown recipients’ is only used by the mail server to send “unknown recipeint” mail to the specified user in “Deliver to”.
If you have DNS MX record specified for your mail server at your Register, anyone on the Internet, or a station on you LOCAL LAN, can send an email to anyone on your LAN as long as it is a valid user.
