DPM - SMTP Server configuration error
Hi all, I have received some calls from the partners wherein they have tried setting up the SMTP server configuration in DPM 2010 for notification and they have come across error :
Details: An authentication error has occurred when trying to connect to the SMTP server ID :518
This has more to do with the settings on your SMTP relay server or the username / password used for the authentication. I am using domain admin / exchange admin account so I have ruled out the username part. For the relay settings -
In my lab to work on this issue, I am using Exchange server for mail relay. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is the settings on the SMTP relay server.
Steps that I did in my lab -
- Created a new Receive connector for DPM server (with specifying the IP address of the DPM server in the allow list)
- Make sure that anonymous permission is allowed
- and WALLAH it works.
- Send a test mail from your DPM server

I hope this post will help people who are getting the same issues ID : 518.
