Pentaho PDI - Mail using gmail account Connection timed out

Whilst trying to send email using GMAIL on the PDI job, I face a connection timed out error.

Settings were as give below

  1. SMTP ->smtp.gmail.com
  2. Port -> 465 (also tried with 587 and 25)
  3. And followed by SSL connection with my full credentials.

This is the error I am getting

2016/08/24 11:56:48 - Mail - ERROR (version 6.1.0.1-196, build 1 from 2016-04-07 12.08.49 by buildguy) : Problem while sending message: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465;
  nested exception is:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

I see a similar open question here but with little help

Any help?

Solution

  • by using below server configuration i used to send mail from PDI 

    1.SMTP ->smtp.gmail.com
2.Port -> 465 
3. use authentication [check this]
4.authentication user (use your gmail id)
5.authentication password (use your gmail password)
6.use secure authentication
7. secure connection type = SSL

    when this job will execute in your gmail account a security concern mail will be sent by gmail team and you need to allow that security check
