I found below document which talks about email configuration. However, I would like to know if we have any other documentation that can refer along with this.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/developing/development-guidelines.html?lang=en#sending-email

I would like to test with gmail account. Any help is really appreciated!

Hi @lmalyala

You need to create one OSGi configuration with name "com.day.cq.mailer.DefaultMailService.xml" and add the below config into it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
   jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
   smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"
   smtp.port="465"
   smtp.user="demo@gmail.com"
   smtp.password="Demo@123"
   from.address="no-reply@gmail.com"
   smtp.ssl="{Boolean}true"
   smtp.starttls="{Boolean}true"
   debug.email="{Boolean}true"/>

User name and password should be of the gmail account.

Please ensure to turn off the less secure app in gmail so it will not stop sending the email. Also note that you can send upto 500 emails using gmail account.

Use ACS email service. Here is the documentation:

Hey! This solution works perfectly in local instance. However, it is throwing below error in AEMaaCS instance. Looks like by default, ports will be disabled in AEMaaCS and needs to be enabled as per https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/networking/examples/email-service.html?lang=en

Error in AEMaacs instance:

Caused by: org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException: Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:465

Caused by: com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.gmail.com, 465; timeout 60000

Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out

Could you please help me with steps to resolve this issue in AEMaacs instance?

Hi @lmalyala

You need to configure the OSGi details as mentioned below:

{
   "smtp.host": "$[env:AEM_PROXY_HOST;default=proxy.tunnel]",
   "smtp.port": "30002",
   "smtp.user": "$[env:EMAIL_USERNAME;default=apikey]",
   "smtp.password": "$[secret:EMAIL_PASSWORD]",
   "from.address": "no-reply@gmail.com",
   "smtp.ssl": true,
   "smtp.starttls": false,
   "smtp.requiretls": false,
   "debug.email": false,
   "oauth.flow": false
}
