I have a problem getting email notification to work for the bitnami redmine stack for windows. The configuration is as follows: Operating System: Windows Server 2003 (new install, no other programs installed, only windows updates.) bitnami-redmine-1.3.0.1-windows-installer.exe
The SMTP information given during the installation procedure is processed in the properties.ini file.
[SMTP]
smtp_ host=smtp.company.nl
smtp_ password=
smtp_ port=25
smtp_ protocol=none
smtp_ user=
smtphost and smtpport are set correctly. The smtp server (smtp.company.nl) is up and running:
- ping reply is ok.
- dns works.
- telnet session to smtp returns results for HELO and EHLO.
- a test program can successfully send an email through the smtp server.
However, if I send a test mail message in Redmine (administrator login, administration, settings, Email notifications, Send a test email) an error message is returned.
! An error occurred while sending mail (500 Syntax error, command unrecognized - )
Also noteworthy is that using a turnkey linux redmine stack works perfectly, but linux doesn't store it's settings in a file called properties.ini. And no, using linux is not an option for the configuration i want to work to.
