SMTP will stop working October 1st, 2022

Hello,

In my project we are using SMTP auth to send emails. I have learned from this article from Microsoft (Deprecation of Basic authentication in Exchange Online | Microsoft Docs) that this functionality will not be working anymore.

Even though is not very clear whether it will stop working or not and I quote; "In September 2021, we announced that effective October 1, 2022, we will begin disabling Basic authentication for Outlook, EWS, RPS, POP, IMAP, and EAS protocols in Exchange Online. SMTP Auth will also be disabled if it is not being used" the news strongly suggest that we must stop using SMTP and move on with "modern authentication" . My question is: do we have other options to send emails? if so, please advice.

Thank you in advance,
Andrea

Hello @AndreaFuguet,

I’d suggest you look into Microsoft Graph API. There’s a connector on the DX that supports various mail-related actions, and the auth capability is via OAuth2.
