SETTING UP SMTP EMAIL FOR Outlook 365

You can send email through your Office 365 server after you complete the follow steps to configure eFORMz:

1. Back up eFORMz.ini.
2. Open eFORMz.ini in a text editor such as Notepad++. The file should contain text similar to this. Your javaw.exe path, -mx, and -ms values might be different, but the jar files must match the jar files in your jar directory:

   .\bin\javaw.exe -mx1024M -ms128M -Xbootclasspath/a:jars/javax.mail-1.5.5.jar;jars/jai-imageio-core-1.3.1.jar

3. Add the following lines after the existing text in the file:
   -Dmail.smtp.auth=true
-Dmail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
-Dmail.smtp.connectiontimeout=120000
-Dmail.smtp.timeout=12000
-Dmail.smtp.ssl.trust=smtp.office365.com
-Dmail.smtp.ehlo:true
-Dmail.smtp.quitwait:false
4. Now you can enter your Office 365 server in a JavaMail step in eDirect. The SMTP host is smtp.office365.com with a port of 25:

   

5. Finally, click the SMTP Options tab and enter your authentication credentials. Do not use the author’s credentials.

   

6. Save the project and you are finished.
