Hi,

I am trying to set SMTP settings in Cisco Unity Express but its not working. Our emails are hosted on Office 365 and we are on workgroup.

smtp.office365.com

port 587 TLS

sayub@xxx.com

I am getting following error when try to send a test email.

Our ultimate goal is to get voicemail notifications via email.

Test Result: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.office365.com, port: 587

Thanks

Shahzad

You have to be on CUE 8.6 for support of TLS. It sounds like you may be setting up SMTP and just changing the port number. Here are the GUI instructions for enabling SMTP:

Configuring the SMTP Server
Use this procedure to configure the SMTP server.
Step 1 Choose System > SMTP Settings. The System SMTP Settings window appears.
Step 2 Enter the hostname or IP address of the external SMTP server.
Step 3 Select the security mode from the drop-down menu. Select one of the following:
• None: No security setting is enabled.
• SSL: Specifies that SSL is enabled.
• STARTTLS: Specifies that STARTTLS is enabled.
Step 4 Enter the port number used to connect to the SMTP server.
Step 5 Enter the username and password for the server.
Step 6 Click Apply to save your settings.

Hi Nathan,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried both SSL(465) and STARTTLS(587) but its not working for me.

Even I tried with hotmail, Gmail and office365 accounts but nothing is working for me.

One thing i need to mention that I cannot access internet from ISM module but am not sure if its necessary to have internet access on ISM as we are not using local SMTP server.

Thanks

CUE absolutely needs full IP connectivity to the SMTP server. Since Office 365 is on the internet, CUE will require internet access.

Mohammed al Baqari · ‎09-16-2015

Hi,

You need to have connectivity to O365 in order to relay mails. Best design is to build SMTP relay server internally using IIS (Windows Server 2008 or 2012) which has connectivity to O365. Then all SMTP forwarding applications to point to this server as smart host using port 25.

In this way you have only one server accessing internet and rest of SMTP traffic is internal. Also, you don't need to worry about your internal applications if they support TLS or not as they will connect to relay server over port 25. IIS will take care of secured connection to O365.

You will have best control over SMTP external traffic instead of having multiple connections to internet.

Hi Mohamed,

We have a local DNS server running on Windows Server 2012, can we build it as SMTP relay server and also please guide me the steps in form of any documents if you have.

Thanks

I am posting here the configuration of my router where 10.10.10.2 is ip of ISM module and 10.10.10.1 is its gateway, I am doing NAT for all local pools including 10.10.10.0 and from router I can ping office SMTP server from source 10.10.10.1 but i don't know why I am unable to ping it from ISM module.

Can you ping 10.10.10.2 from a local PC? It is possible the rest of the network doesn't know how to get to 10.10.10.2.

Shahzad Ayub · ‎09-16-2015

Yes am able to ping it from my PC which is on 10.100.0.0/24.

Thanks
