Hello, I am not able to proceed with creating users as email configuration not working.

The error I am getting is :

arning: Could not send confirmation email 
ERROR: Can't send mail using Net::SMTP. Can't connect to podxxxxx.outlook.com 

I am setting mail and Proxies with the following details :

WebMasterEmail : a.b@companyPLEASENOSPAM.com

MailProgram : /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oeq

MailHost : podxxxxx.outlook.com

senderhost : 10.x.x.x ( ip of twiki)

username : {empty}

password : {empty}

We use outlook 365 for our emails. Please help

Discussion and Answer

You definitely need to specify username and password when using smtp-mail.outlook.com as the SMTP server.

It looks like outlook.com also requires TLS, which TWiki currently does not support in the core. There is a proposed enhancement at SMTPUseTLS. You could hire one of the TWikiConsultants to enhance TWiki with TLS feature for SMTP.
