Emails not going out from workflows/alerts on SharePoint 2013

The emails are not going out from any Wf's or alerts on my SP2013.

I have a single server architecture.

I have checked the outgoing email server settings: I am bit unsure about the outgoing SMTP server. What would be the best way to confirm this?

 

I have checked the IIS6.0 manager and confirmed the authentication.

Also I checked the folder: inetpub]badmail: I see all emails stuck there.

 

Action: failed
Status: 5.7.57
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;530 5.7.57 SMTP; Client was not authenticated to send anonymous mail during
Content-Type: message/rfc822

 

Any help would be appreciated.

thank you

  • Could also be that the connector changed?

    I would install telnet if you don't have it on the SharePoint server, then telnet relayIP 25
    Then you can do like
    helo yourdomain.com
    mail from:you@yourdomain.com
    rcpt to:something@yahoo.com
    data
    .

    to test the smtp connection from the server.
  • Make sure the mail server you're relaying off of is configured to allow traffic from the SharePoint server.

  • What are you relaying off of? Make sure you didn't have a certificate expire on the endpoint there would be first place I would check if this just randomly happened. If it's exchange, should be able to go to ECP and check the certificates on the server tab.
