Office365 email configuration
Posted: 02 Dec 2016, 01:45
Hello,
I was having problems with Mantis being able to send emails using an Office 365 account using SMTP whereas I had other online apps configured and sending emails successfully with the same account. The error being returned was:
In searching the forums I did not find anything useful so I went through the code I and found that Mantis also includes a reply to address when sending the email. This was the critical item causing the issue. Office 365 expects the from address, the reply to email and the username to all be the same email unless you have specifically allowed the user permissions to send as another email address.
Since I struggled getting Mantis to work with Office 365 I thought I would document the settings you need to make Office 365 work:
Hope this proves to be helpful to others.
