Workflow notifications error

[dotCMS newB]

I'm testing a sample notification for workflow actions with the following config in the context.xml, with the correct user/pwd:

name="mail/MailSession" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com" mail.smtp.port="587" mail.smtp.auth="true" mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true" mail.smtp.user="us...@gmail.com" password="password"

But I'm getting the following error:

[29/06/16 21:51:24:087 PDT] ERROR util.Mailer: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 587;

  nested exception is:

java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 587;

  nested exception is:

java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect

at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1213) ~[mail.jar:1.3.2]

I'm able to telnet to this but not able to connect through dotcms.

Try using this config 

<Resource name="mail/MailSession" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session"

    mail.transport.protocol="smtp"

    mail.smtp.auth="true"

    mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"

    mail.smtp.port="587"

    mail.smtp.user="<username>"

    password="<password>"

    mail.smtp.from="<sender email>"

    mail.smtp.quitwait="false"

    mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"

    mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"

    mail.debug="true"/>

Still the errors are there.

Maybe something locally work tomcat not having permissions to get out the port or something like that

It turns out we just updated the docs on this (yesterday) with a newly tested Gmail configuration.

Here's a link to the doc: http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/mail-configuration#ExampleGmail

And here's the new suggested configuration:

<Resource name="mail/MailSession" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com" mail.smtp.port="587" mail.smtp.auth="true" mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true" mail.smtp.user="us...@gmail.com" password="password" />

Google made some changes recently that made the previous example configuration stop working. We just tested with this new configuration this week, so please try this and see if it works better.

John, 

That's what I tried with in the first place. The new config from the docs.

Jason,

Not sure about the local tomcat having permissions or not, but I'll try this on another server.

Here is some additional info from the logs if anyone can help.
