Hi Samiksha,

Adobe Campaign does not support authenticated SMTP servers. You need to configure the mta so that it accepts all traffic coming from the loopback.

Read following articles to configure the SMTP server for localhost:

and this for more options: https://docs.campaign.adobe.com/doc/AC6.1/en/INS_Additional_configurations__Email_deliverability.html

Amit

Hi Samiksha,

it's quite simple, follow given steps:
1. download any smtp server like https://github.com/haraka/Haraka
2. install and configure your account, add domain name to your local host file and note down the server address and port number.
3. In your local campaign go to the config-<instance>.xml file, you can add an option: <mta><relay address="<server address or MX address>" port="<server port>" /></mta>
4. If the <mta> tag already exists in this file (which is normally the case), you just need to add the <relay> tag inside.
 
More description is available in the serverConf.xml file.

Note that Campaign does not support authenticated SMTP. You need to configure the mta so that it accepts all traffic coming from the loopback.

Regards,
Amit

    Hi @amit_kumar ,

    Was just going through the detailed steps you mentioned above.
    Would like to know if these will be the same steps to be followed in case we need to Integrate Campaign with Office 365 exchange SMTP server?
    Will be there be any external account configuration needed too.

    Appreciate your response.
    Thanks

       this is how my conf file is:

       <mta autoStart="false" statServerAddress="">
          <child>
            <smtp>
              <IPAffinity name="default,mid.default,dev.default,test.default">
                <!--  For dev instances, if you need a default IP (not recommended), use address="0.0.0.0" -->
                <IP address="" heloHost="" publicId="" weight=""/>
              </IPAffinity>
            </smtp>
          </child>
        </mta>

       

      Please let me know what all has to be removed from it n what to keep.

      Can you go to your serverConf file and look for <relay address="" port="25"/> , i just saw in my local and i can see this, you can change in serverConf file and this will work.
