How to Configure Office 365 SMTP Server with the ControlUp Console?

A user asked whether the ControlUp Console could use the Office 365 SMTP for alerts. It was suggested to use the "local" SMTP, a cloud-based one and/or Gmail’s SMTP. The user then tested in a lab with port 25 and found it to be working, subsequently confirming it with PowerShell outside of ControlUp. Thanks to @member for further insights, it appeared that port 587 on O365 was blocked. Title: Can ControlUp Use Office 365 SMTP for Alerts?

Read the entire ” thread below:

is there a plan to allow the use of the office 365 SMTP server with the Console? With customers moving away from on premise exchange will loose the ability for SMTP for alerts?

@member?

Should be already possible. It’s called „local“ smtp but you can use also a cloud based smtp.

yeah, but as an MSP, we would like to us our own SMTP server. you can’t set credentials as it not part of the customer domain.

Not sure that 365 SMTP is supported. You’ll need an account for that so you can explicitly dictate ControlUp which username/password to use. For example Gmail

maybe @member did additional digging into 365

trying as u suggested with gmail

but forr 0365

grr port 587 blocked

wil try in lab

works outside of CU with powershell

try reviewing this article and this one and see if it will provide further insights re 365 side.
