You need to have System Administrator permissions in order to perform this function.
To configure Confluence Standalone to send outgoing mail,
-
Go to the 'Administration Console' view. To do this:
- Go to a page in the space and choose 'Administration' from the 'User' menu, which is labelled with your Confluence username. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
- Select 'Mail Servers' under 'Configuration' in the left panel. This will list all currently configured SMTP servers.
- Click 'Add New SMTP Server' (or edit an existing server).
- Name: By default, this is set to 'SMTP Server'.
- From: Enter the email address that will be displayed in the 'from' field for email messages originating from this server.
- Subject Prefix: Enter a subject prefix, if required.
- Configuring the Host Address, Username and Password:
- Manually enter your 'Host Address', 'Username' and 'Password' details in the form fields displayed (recommended).
OR
- Specify the 'JNDI' location of a mail session configured in your application server in the form field displayed.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with these configurations, please check that your <Confluence-Install>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib contains only one copy of the following JAR files:
- javamail-x.x.x.jar
- activation-x.x.x.jar
- mail-x.x.x.jar
Ideally, these should be:
- javamail-1.3.2.jar
- activation-1.0.2.jar
- mail-1.3.2.jar (or later)
You will then need to move these into the proper directory:
Standalone Version: Please move the above three jar files from the confluence/WEB-INF/lib directory to the common/lib directory and restart Confluence.
