Solved Custom SMTP Server

[DJimenez]

I upgraded to the most recent version (15.5.8801.3) over the weekend. Everything works fine except email notifications. I can't use my email server only the 3CX SMTP server. Any ideas why? I have the Professional perpetual license.

@YiannisH_3CX:
Try clicking on the license tab, click edit and then click ok without changing anything. This should refresh your registration.

I tried that. After entering the mail server info and click on the Test button, I get "one or more errors occurred."

Windows 10 Pro (15.5.8801.3) same issue also professional perpetual license.

Using a simple custom smtp server (port 25) to our exchange 2010, upon testing the "new email settings interface" I receive the 'No compatible authentication mechanisms found'.

3cxSystemService.log

I am seeing the same error as well. Internal Exchange 2010 server. Any update on this?

what are the configuration settings in your exchange? As this is clear: No compatible authentication mechanisms found. All offered exchange auth methods can not be used by 3CX. I personal go with IP auth for my 3CX pbx on a custom SMTP port

Disregard, got it working, thanks.

Had this exact issue and found this forum post during my course of troubleshooting. The issue in our environment was TLS 1.2 was not enabled in the registry on the smtp server in Microsoft Server 2008 R2.

Found the following articles:

Enabling TLS 1.2: https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a433/how-to-enable-tls-1_2-on-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

Also verify that SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are disabled: https://www.sslshopper.com/article-how-to-disable-ssl-2.0-in-iis-7.html

When you are done reboot the server. Log into the 3CX console and go back to Settings -> Email and check Enable SSL/TLS. Verify the rest of your smtp server settings are correct and press the Test button.

Verify anything else that depends on the SMTP server is functioning correctly. If the server is a WAN facing server, also hit it with this: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/.
