How to Configure SMTP in Aras

I am trying to configure a smtp in aras but I dont know how to achieve it. in one article I read that just need to change in file "InnovatorServerConfig.xml" and do change in Mail SMTPServer =[server name], so is there any other setting I need to do for SMTP configuration.
  • I believe that's it. Or you could keep Queue and add your SMTP server in the IIS configuration.
  • Thanks Yoann, On my machine IIS is already Installed and in which SMTP Email is also there, so which setting I need to do in SMTP Email.
  • Hi Yoann, I configure the SMTP in IIS as you said, Create Notification message in aras, and configure that notification to transition of an part item type, and I provide email to the user(in the user form), for both (i.e for designer and manager). But when I promote a Part from My InBasket got the Error: CANNOT GET IIS PICKUP DIRECTORY, I read the article on forum regarding this error: community.aras.com/.../ I do all the stuff, but still got the same error. Help?
  • Also, missing mailroot folder from c:/inetpub/mailroot, on my machine, IIS version is 10.0, and there is no SMTP service  in Services list.   Thank you.
  • Hi! I installed ARAS innovator Ver.11 SP9 recently, and set SMTPServer="<<smtp-server-ip>>", same as ARAS innovator Ver.11 SP0(zero),  on the same server. I can get workflow mail from ver.11SP0 but ver.11SP9. Is any difference from ver,11SP9 to ver.11SP0? Any advice would be appreciated.
  • Hi, I have also same doubt. if we put 127.0.0.1 in the InnovatorServerConfig.xml then how the email will be sent to external network like gmail. if we put 127.0.0.1 then it will go to queue folder right. from there how it will go to gmail server.
    1. i have configured the smtp virtual server in windows server 2016
    2. based on web results 25 port is hardcoded for aras. so we cannot use it for sending mails. but if we want to send any mail from any application 587 port is required.
    3. and even i have done the configuration in smtp virtual server like
    i) in outbound security -> gmail user name and password ii) outbound connection -> 587 port given iii) advanced -> smtp.gmail.com iv) connection control and relay-> 127.0.0.1 when the lifecycle is started so if the mail needs to be send to any gmail then from local host smtp virtual server to gmail smtp will be connected.   so finally any body tell me please. so how the mail will go to the gmail server from aras application based on smtp server.   please do the needful.
