Seeting up email notification

[KKCS]

Hi all,

While configuring Jenkins for sending email notification on build failures with the relevant SMTP server and port number it Fails to send out email reporting Connection refused: connect.

Can anyone suggest a way to solve this problem?

Thank you.

Which email plugin are you using? Mailer or email-ext?

SMTP mail uses a simple in-band control mechanism and FTP-like ASCII primitives.

You should be able to login to the build machine and telnet to the SMTP port on the mail server and emulate an MUA by hand.  That will allow you to debug the issue very quickly.  You state that you are getting connection refused, so I’ll bet you either have a firewall issue, a nonstandard SMTP port, or an MTA unknown-source-blocking problem.
