I need to migrate, my actual smtp server, to smtp.office365.com I have configured the SMTP at the domain (mydomain.xxx.xxx), and all goes good. Because the email can be sent when I create a test TXT file and drop it into PICK UP folder of the MailRoot.

In the "Outbound SMTP Server" of Central Administration, I enter (mydomain.xxx.xxx) There is no email sent after I set up the alert. I see the error "Cannot connect to SMTP host "mydomain.xxx.xxx" in the Windows Event log.

I also tried to send and email from PowerShell cmdlet, but it fails.

I really appreciate your help.

You can configure Your SMTP setting for server from IIS

IIS > select server > SMTP Email

SMTP Email

Enter your SMTP Server name,port and specify credential according your SMTP server

  • I did it. But I´m not sure if it´s correct, to use the same credentials to connect to office365, or I need to use, the credentials to connect to the server. Any case, I try with both. but I still receive False, from the power shell console.

There are couples of things which you should confirm.

  1. install the SMTP server locally according to Office 365 settings
  2. You need SPO licensing for user " To setup your on-premise SharePoint server to use Exchange Online, you need to build SharePoint Online (SPO) accounts for those users and assign the appropriate SPO licenses." https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/59538

  • The problem persists. I still receive the message from Event Viewer. Cannot connect to SMTP host " ".ID: 6857 IMHO I think that is a problem with my server, but I cannot find the error. I just have a question, why my smtp server works, when a put a TXT file in C:\inetpub\mailroot\Pickup, I received the email. But the connection with sharepoint is the problem. Thanks in advanced
