SMTP Server error not being resolved

[fred1n]

I'm getting the following error that the SMTP server is not being able to be resolved:

  The remote name could not be resolved: 'smtp2.accenturefederal.com' 

this is the setup:
SmtpServer: 'smtp2.accenturefederal.com'

Is there something I'm missing?

Same issue. I have tried ssl as true and false, specifying port 25 in the smtpserver, nothing seems to work. I am able to send emails with the Microsoft report task, so I know the smtp server is not the issue.

This fixed it for me: remove smtp:// from before the smtp server name, so you just have myserver.something
Also set ssl to false.
Confusing that the server format needs to be different if using an Azure service connection (there you do need to specify smtp://myserver.something)

@Stromboli94 What is the port number you used? I am getting the following error when setting SSL to false.
The server response was: 5.7.3 STARTTLS is required to send mail . I am using smtp.office365.com as smtp server.

@bravirao021 port 25, but I am also using an internal SMTP server, not a public one, so I don't need a username or password.
