Hello

Are you trying to use gmail?

Create the "app password" inside Gmail settings https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

Our institution uses Google Workspace with the same settings below (in this case, you should use your own domain instead of gmail.com)

Here is our local.cfg

Version 7.6.5

# SMTP mail server (allows DSpace to send email notifications)
mail.server = smtp.gmail.com

# SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
mail.server.username = youremai...@gmail.com
mail.server.password = yourapppassword

# SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25)
mail.server.port = 587

# From address for mail
# All mail from the DSpace site will use this 'from' address
mail.from.address = youremai...@gmail.com (the same as in mail.server.username)

We had some strange TLS issues some time ago. I found this line in a forum and it solved the problem

#fix starttls error
mail.extraproperties = mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true

Hope it helps you

Sorry for any english mistake, lol
