Gerrit Cannot send email verification message 504

I am using gerrit 3.2.1

After I tried everything I can do to configure my gerrit.sendemail, I failed to send a verification mail

[sendemail]
        enable = true
        smtpServer = smtp.offce365.com
        smtpServerPort = 587
        smtpEncryption = ssl
        sslVerify = false
        smtpUser = gerrit@gerritserver.com
        smtpPass = pswd

I refered to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/repo-discuss/RWvdXR-Z4nA/1USSK1F6AAAJ\

but seems I met different problem,

For the encryption, according with office 365, the SMTP uses STARTTLS, but seems it always fail. I tried ssl, tls, neither works. I also tried port 25.

Solution

  • Is this related to this question on the mailing list?

    Also, when I check the office365 smtp settings it looks like it should use tls instead of ssl:

    SMTP Host: smtp.office365.com
SMTP Port: 587
SSL Protocol: OFF
TLS Protocol: ON
SMTP Username: (your Office365 username)
SMTP Password: (your Office365 password)

    Try to change your settings to tls and maybe you need to implement the workaround for java11.
