Qlikview Server - mail user preferences

[jduarte12]

Hello,

I am using Qlikview Server 11 and I need to send email alerts whenever a certain condition is verified.

However, there is some problem when I press the "Test" button under User Preferences - Mail, because Qlikview returns the following error message:

"Could not connect to server. Last Response: Unexpected AUTH PLAIN response, Last Response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first".

I have created a hotmail account for this purpose and set the required parameters to:

Server:

Address: smtp.live.com

Port: 587 (I also have tried with other port numbers)

Authentication Method: AUTH PLAIN (I also have tried with others)

User ID: the e-mail user of the created hotmail account ("something@hotmail.com")

Password: the correspondent hotmail's password

Sender: the name and address can be the same as the one in server, can't them? In other words, can mail server and mail sender be the same?

I have searched the internet and I still do not understand what am I doing wrong, neither what can I do to solve this issue and start sending e-mail alerts - that is why your knowledge would be a great help.

Thank you in advance,

João Duarte

I had already started a discussion on this issue on:

http://community.qlik.com/thread/79777

However, I did not notice the "wait for moderation approval" message and posted the question a second time, for what I am sorry. You can delete this duplicated version of the discussion if you may.

Thank you,

João Duarte
