Jenkins Email Server configuration

[Martin Min]

Hello, I am using the almost latest Jenkins release and have a question on configuration email notification. Why are there only two fields for this?

I unchecked the SSL box for a quick test. and received this error message below. I put in my gmail user name and password. Failed to send out e-mail com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. fn8sm222212pad.15 - gsmtp at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(SMTPTransport.java:2057) at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.mailFrom(SMTPTransport.java:1580) at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:1097) at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:195) at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:124) at hudson.tasks.Mailer$DescriptorImpl.doSendTestMail(Mailer.java:522)

I did some searched and some people said in Java code these two should be added:

smtp.auth=true
smtp.STARTTLS.enable=true

But there is no such options in the settings. Right?

There aren't only two fields — there is also an "Advanced" button, which
reveals more options. You even mention the "Use SSL" checkbox, which is
in the advanced section.

If it didn't work when you disabled SSL, have you tried enabling SSL?
This is what Gmail wants when it says that STARTTLS is required.
