Configuring your Confluence server to send outgoing mail allows Confluence users to:
To configure Confluence Standalone to send outgoing mail,
- Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Mail Servers' under 'Configuration' in the left panel. This will list all currently configured SMTP servers.
- Click 'Add New SMTP Server' (or edit an existing server)
- Name: By default, this is set to 'SMTP Server'.
- From: Enter the email id that will be displayed in the 'from' field for email messages originating from this server.
- Subject Prefix: Enter a subject prefix, if required.
- Configuring the Host Address, Username and Password.
- Manually enter your 'Host Address', 'Username' and 'Password' details in the form fields displayed (recommended).
OR
- Specify the 'JNDI' location of a mail session configured in your application server in the form field displayed.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with these configurations, please check that your <Confluence-Install>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib contains only one copy of the following JAR files:
- javamail-x.x.x.jar
- activation-x.x.x.jar
- mail-x.x.x.jar
Ideally, these should be:
- javamail-1.3.2.jar
- activation-1.0.2.jar
- mail-1.3.2.jar
You will then need to move these into the proper directory:
Standalone Version
Please move the above three jar files from thee confluence/WEB-INF/lib directory to the common/lib directory and restart Confluence.
EAR/WAR Version
