SMTP VBO

SmithJones — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 09:12:00 GMT

Hi All,

We are currently trying to implement SMTP vbo in our project. So is there any way to use smtp vbo without using any credentials ? Like it needs creds to send mail but is there any process to bypass it, and without using credentials all time we can still send mail.

Thanks
Smith Jones

Good morning.

You need to check first if your SMTP provider allows sending emails without user validation (user and password).
That is not something they will do normally because allow be used to send SPAM and abuse of the server.

Have a good day.

Hi,

The request for user validation are disabled. If validations are disabled then how can we send emails? What is the process?

Also is there any way to send other than smtp VBO? As VBO is asking username, password.

Thanks

We have the same setup - an internal SMTP server that does not require authentication. If you leave the user name as an empty string ("") it'll send mail without using credentials.

you can send emails using SMTP without credentials if your SMTP relay allows messages from the Host. there will be mechanism to add the source IP as trusted in SMTP relay server

alternately you can send emails using Exchange web-service, Microsoft Graph API, Outlook VBO, Mapiex VBO.
