This article explains how to configure SMTP Protocol for the APM installations located in the Azure Cloud.

Introduction

In order to be able to send e-mail, reports, notifications from APM installation located in the Azure Cloud it is necessary to setup one of the send e-mail methods available in Adonis:

  • SMTP
  • Office 365

In this article we will cover the SMTP configuration.

Setup and Configuration

APM has 2 places where the mail server is configured in global options.

  • One is for sending mails in general (when choosing to send mail to crew members from the crew list view or other places).
  • Another one is used for sending standard (in-build) payslip reports.
  1. The setup for sending mails in general is configured under the Setup > Global options > General.
    Here you need to select the Security Protocol you use - SMTP in our case.
    For the selected option you also need to define Server and Port.



    Please also note that Microsoft has tightened the anti-spam filtering policies for all its platforms and limited the number of ports allowed for SMTP:
    Blocked Ports: 25;
    Allowed Ports: 443, 465, 587;

    If port is blocked or set incorrectly you may get the "socket 10060" error:

    You will also need to input the mail box account details, due to 2 factor authentications.
    For the mail box we must use TLS encryption protocol for sending mails.
    In Azure we support TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.2. But APM itself has many hard-coded references to TLSv1, which might create issues if you use TLSv1.2.
    Thus we recommend to test send e-mail properly from different places if you decide on TLSv1.2.



  2. If you use standard/ in-build payslip report, then you also need to make the same configuration under the Setup > Global options > Payroll > Email reports > Communication.
