Hi Jeffrey, You might want to look more closely at the log lines *around* that WARN message you noted below. They may provide more information about what the problem is with regards to sending the emails -- especially if you see an ERROR just before or after the WARN.
The error "AuthenticationFailedException" implies that either the configuration is incorrect (in some way) *or* maybe there's an SSL Handshake failure (if your mail server requires SSL and the cert cannot be verified by Java on the server running DSpace). But, it's hard to say for certain. Since the `test-email` works though, that would imply the configuration should hopefully be correct. Not sure if that helps any, but maybe you'll find something else in the logs (either DSpace logs or maybe even Tomcat logs) that provides more info.

I'm using a trusted and open SMTP relay which doesn't require authentication. Therefore, I have mail.server populated and mail.server.username and mail.server.password commented out (in DSpace 5, these could simply be left blank). When I test the email configuration, the response is positive and the email appears in my inbox: ./dspace test-email About to send test email: - To: jshel...@ksu.edu - Subject: DSpace test email - Server: (my SMTP server address) Email sent successfully! However, workflow tasks will not deliver email, but log errors akin to the following: 2020-02-03 09:11:49,354 WARN org.dspace.workflowbasic.BasicWorkflowServiceImpl @ jshel...@k-state.edu:session_id=AF8FE128AE418F4C52CA462EF2BCE798:ip_addr=(address removed):notify_of_reject:cannot email user eperson_id=(eperson UUID removed) eperson_email=jshel...@k-state.edu workflow_item_id=20928\colon; Send failure (javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException\colon; null) Any suggestions? I have tried a number of combinations (including mail.server = localhost for Postfix to handle) and would expect this to work without issue as it did in the past. Always the same error. -Jeff -- All messages to this mailing list should adhere to the DuraSpace Code of Conduct: https://duraspace.org/about/policies/code-of-conduct/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
