Unable to connect to SMTP server

  • 1.  Unable to connect to SMTP server

    Posted Feb 19, 2019 05:03 AM

    Hi, everyone.

    I encountered the following the error "Couldn't connect to the SMTP server using the specified settings. Please re-enter the SMTP settings." when entering the SMTP setting in the General Settings on Enforce console.

    However, the settings are properly entered and I can log into Exchange OWA using the credentials. I am also able to telnet to the SMTP server via port 25.

    FYI,

    Server: 172.27.10.75

    System Email: dlp.mail@example.com

    User ID: example\dlp.mail

    Password: ********

     

    I need urgent solution on this.

    Hi Pan Fei,

    What is the DLP version on which you are facing this issue ? Also share the OS details for Enforce and SMTP (Detection server ).

    If it's 15.1 , We will need to follow below :

    Stop all DLP Services on Enforce Box

     

    On the 15.1 Enforce install, remove both mail-1.4.7.jar and javax.mail1.6.0 jar from the following directories:

     

    <DLP_home>\Server Platform Common\15.1\Protect\lib\jar

    <DLP_home>\Enforce Server\15.1\Protect\tomcat\lib

     

    Place the mail.jar in the below location

    <DLP_home>\Server Platform Common\15.1\Protect\lib\jar

    <DLP_home>\Enforce Server\15.1\Protect\tomcat\lib

     

    Start all the DLP Services on Enforce Box

    Hello Ridhi,

    I am seeing the same issue in 15.5 would you know if its the same fix? Where can I locate the needed replacement files, I reached out to support but, still waiting for any response.

    Thanks for any direction, hoping the files are available to download from somewhere within my account

    Hello Fady,

      As of version 15.0, Symantec Data Loss Prevention no longer supports anonymous logins to the SMTP server that is used for sending out alerts and reports. You must enter a valid user name and password. 

    Trying to upload mail.jar file but it is not uploading here.

    Hi - the solution given above (replacing JAR files) is actually no longer valid.
    There was in fact an issue with Java Mail JARs in 15.1 era, but it turns out that was a Java issue where they were updating protocols (for security reasons).

    As it turns out, not only is DLP v15.1 End of Service, but the actual solution is to simply require Authentication at your SMTP server (as indicated by Vibu in above comment).

    This is noted in the 15.7 Release Notes, under "Known Issues":

    Issue = 4231954

    Description = As of version 15.0, Symantec Data Loss Prevention no
    longer supports anonymous logins to the SMTP server that
    is used for sending out alerts and reports. You must enter
    a valid user name and password.

    Workaround = Don't use anonymous login to the SMTP server that you
    use to send out alerts and reports.

    Hopefully this is helpful! Please contact Support if more assistance is needed.

    Hi Stephen,

    I'm facing with another SMTP issue. Enforce server can not send alert email or action email. Exchange server using TLS1.2 with port 587.
    The attach image is capture file from Enforce to SMTP server. It's show "STARTTLS is required to send email". This mean Enforce server did not enable TLS yet. But I've checked TLS already enabled in Enforce. Any advice for my case please?
