Unable to validate smarthost settings

Support

Thank you, that helped and I got it working.

I changed the SMTP user name to user@domain.org on smtp2go.com and the test succeeds.

I guess the test submits the username entered as the from address?

we send an email by curl to validate if your smtp is valid, without domain we go nowhere

we use the swak command in the sender relay, it should only try to authenticate, rather to send an email by curl like for the setting page . This explain why you failed

AFAIK swaks doesn’t really sends an email Send SMTP AUTH probe with swaks by DavidePrincipi · Pull Request #119 · NethServer/nethserver-mail · GitHub.

We do not use the the -f option, maybe we can add it tune it a bit:

   -f, --from [email-address]

       Use argument as envelope-sender for email, or prompt user if no argument specified.  The string <> can be supplied to mean the null sender.  If user does not
       specify a sender address a default value is used.  The domain-part of the default sender is a best guess at the fully-qualified domain name of the local
       host.  The method of determining the local-part varies.  On Windows, Win32::LoginName() is used.  On unix-ish platforms, the $LOGNAME environment variable is
       used if it is set.  Otherwise getpwuid(3) is used.  See also --force-getpwuid.

Let’s see what Davide says.

I am not sure now we have to send an email, like you see the key of the issue is the account name at smtp2go : user not user@domain.com
