Alerts Email not working - Third party SMTP Relay

[Matthiasvpfr]

Hi,

In order to get SMTP working (and alerts), I had to add the port number in the following code of destination_email.py file:

    server = smtplib.SMTP(self.server, _**587**_)

That is going to be a site-specific setting to change. 25 is the RFC SMTP port. 587 is the supports-TLS submission service port, and 465 is the SSL/TL-required submission port to the service. You may or may not have one or more of these available to you, depending on your local upstream mail server configuration and it's acceptance policies, and you might use any of them, depending on your tolerance for plaintext email transmissions from the script-server machine to your mail servers.

Hi @Matthiasvpfr thanks for reporting
Did you try putting port directly in the server setting?

I tried to add a port setting in the alertes section of the json first but without success. Could be fine to have that added
