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 

         

        Did you enable the AdvancedNetworkingConfiguration? You can enable it by making the Cloud Manager API call with Adobe I/O.

         

        Before that you need to create one network infrastructure. Follow the steps mentioned here:

        https://www.adobe.io/experience-cloud/cloud-manager/reference/api/#tag/Network-infrastructure

         

        https://www.adobe.io/experience-cloud/cloud-manager/reference/api/#operation/enableEnvironmentAdvancedNetworkingConfiguration

         

        Here you need to pass the PORT Forward rules and it will resolve the issue.

         

        Let me know if you have any questions and I can connect if required.

         

        Thanks!

         


        Hi @asutosh_jena_ - Yes, I have hit both APIs (Create network infrastructure API followed by Enable environment network environment API). While hitting enable environment network environment API, I have sent below JSON in the request body and I was successfully able to fetch the response which is similar to sample response structure mentioned here (https://www.adobe.io/experience-cloud/cloud-manager/reference/api/#operation/enableEnvironmentAdvancedNetworkingConfiguration). Just wondering what else am I missing.

        {
        "nonProxyHosts": [
        "*.gmail.com"
        ],
        "portForwards": [
        {
        "name": "smtp.gmail.com",
        "portDest": 465,
        "portOrig": 30002
        }
        ]
        }
