Description

On sending a test message using Director, we do not see any error message come up but we never receive the email

Resolution

If the authentication for SMTP server is IP-based, configure SMTP permissions for Delivery Controllers as Director leverages the DDC to send test message and not the server on which Director component is installed.

In case of IP-based permissions, we can set the value to NO in the field 'Does SMTP server require authentication' and we would not need a username and password
