[jira] [Commented] (CONNECTORS-1296) Email notification connector doesn't work properly for SMTP

["Markus Schuch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15243715#comment-15243715 ] 

Markus Schuch commented on CONNECTORS-1296:
-------------------------------------------

Setting the properties {{mail.smtp.auth=true}} and {{mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true}} seems not ideal. I suggest setting {{mail.smtp.auth=true}} only if credentials are given, even though i had no problems with unauthenticated send request in my tests. The property {{mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true}} should be overridable, but i like the idea to default to starttls.

There are also some timeouts properties that default to infinity. It may be a good idea to set those to a more reasonable default value if they are not specified in the notification configuration. ({{mail.smtp.connectiontimeout}}, {{mail.smtp.timeout}}, {{mail.smtp.writetimeout}})

My Tests:
- Tested OK with https://github.com/Jaben/Papercut on port 25 (no TLS) and without credentials. The parameters {{mail.smtp.auth=true}} and {{mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true}} were no problem in this case
- Tested OK on mailtrap.io (supports both no-TLS and TLS). {{mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true}} triggered TLS usage. Needed to specify {{mail.smtp.ssl.trust}} due to unknown certificate path issue.
