Free SMTP Server for Sending Mails



In this post I will explain how we can create free SMTP server for MAIL_SENDER1 to send emails via IFS Application for testing.

Prerequisite:
  1. You need to have a Google account or G-suite account.

Go to Solution Manager > Integration > IFS Connect > Setup IFS Connect > Senders > MAIL_SENDER1

In that screen please update the following details accordingly.

Host: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 for Security Protocol SSL and 587 for TLS
Authentication Type: Basic
User: your gmail address
Password: Your gmail password
Security Protocol: SSL or TLS



Now try to send sample mail, you can use COMMAND_SYS.Mail  for this for testing. 

If everything went well you will see a successfully Finished application message in the window. 

Note: If you have enabled 2 factor authentication in you google account sometimes it will give you an exception in the application message. In that case please create an app password and use it in password field instead of your Google password.

To create an 'App Password' go to following link.


Enjoy getting emails to your inbox 😊
