How do I enabled smtp auth for a mailbox in exchange online

Hi All,

     I am trying to enable SMTP auth for my exchange server.  I have followed the instruction given here 

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/authenticated-client-smtp-submission

 

to enable a specific mailbox to have SMTP Auth. But I am still getting a timeout error when I am trying to test the config via smtper.net I also tried writing a simple c# code and test getting the same issue. Here are the config that I used

 

Host: smtp.office365.com

port: 587

using secure connection and authentication using the username and password of the user account

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Tiklu

  • Hey Guys,

         It seems after enabling SMTP auth the emails are going. It is only that it takes a bit extra time. So I am closing this thread as of now

     

    Thanks
