Email Tool: sent an email with a public smtp server

[mathias_schnoor]

Hey!

I want to sent an email with the Email Tool. I have any private smtp-server installed. So I want to use a public smtp-server like smtp.mail.yahoo.com or so.

But I get always error messages

For example::

Error: Email (1): Record#1: Unable to send email: "Error with FROM: 530 5.7.1 Authentication required (smtp.mail.yahoo.com)

Email (1)    Record#1: Unable to send email: "Error with FROM: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. bg10sm31815348wjb.46 - gsmtp (smtp.gmail.com)

But the is no input option for the necessary authentfcation, conection security and so on..

How can I find such input option in Alteryx Designer?

Hey!

The problem seams to be only local.

So it is not a bug or feature in Alteryx.

I'm trying to configure SmtpAuth to work with office365. It looks like TLS is the cause.

I've found out that SmtpAuth rejects the first HELO command, but works after the second. 

The error I'm getting in Alteryx is unable to send HELO and get successful reply.

I keep trying.

Try a free SMTP service, up to 6k per month free emails, It means 200 emails per day.
