After reading this Article, You should have an Understanding of –
- Email Service in Local as well as in Production Environment.
Introduction
While working as AEM Developer we came across so many time to send email form local AEM instance and by default, the email feature is not functional as it requires specification of an SMTP server and SMTP user. To make it working we need to configure default service.
Hence, without any further delay, let’s get started :-
Step #1
- Open Apache Felix Console http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr.
- Search [Ctrl + F] for Day CQ Mail Service.
- It have following parameters :
| SMTP Server Host Name | smtp.gmail.com |
| SMTP Server Port | 465 |
| SMTP user | User Name or Your Email |
| SMTP password | Your Email Password |
| From address | Your Email |
| SMTP to SSL | True |
| Debug email | Don’t Check |
- Configure the Day CQ Mail Service and “save” the changes.
- Trigger the email, If it still fail to send and you are using Gmail address. Then you must have to change your Gmail account security settings.
Step #2
- Navigate to – https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
- Allow less secure apps setting turn “on”.
- Now you will get mail in your inbox successfully.
Note : In Production environment, You should use production SMTP server to send out emails instead of personal email.
