SMTP Connector to Exchange Issue

Q&A
1

Hi,

I am new to bonita and attempting to set up some simple test processes.  I am having difficulty configuring the SMTP connector to send out a test mail.

I have connectivity to the mail server and have opened all necessary ports from my machine and on the server.  i can ping and telnet to the exchange server as well as send a mail through telnet.

I have set up the connector using the connector Email (SMTP) (1.0.0) -- Send an email using SMTP (RFC 5321) but when I try to sent the test I get the error:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.connector.ConnectorExecutionException: org.bonitasoft.engine.core.connector.exception.SConnectorException: org.bonitasoft.engine.connector.exception.SConnectorException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.bonitasoft.engine.connector.exception.SConnectorException: org.bonitasoft.engine.connector.ConnectorException: Could not connect to SMTP host: 192.168.16.38, port: 25

Its an exchange 2007 test environment and I am running the latest Bonita package on standard windows 8.1.  Have also disabled the local firewall but it made no difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Gary

did you find out what the problem was?

I am having the same error with Bonita 6.1.1 when attempting to use an SMTP server which works fine when using telnet to the same server and port as I have defined in the connector.

In fact I have found the answer for my case myself.

By default the SSL [] checkbox is ticked under Security on the Connection Information configuration page. When I unticked the checkbox this SMTP conector worked perfectly.
