How to enable outgoing email in a server farm?
One or more servers in the server farm are running the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service and have a valid SMTP server address. Alternatively, you must know the name of a server outside the farm that is running the SMTP service. Before you can enable outgoing email, you must determine which SMTP server to use.
Where do I Find my Outlook email settings?
You’ll need to know your account type, the incoming and outgoing server names, and the SSL and port settings for your email account. You can either contact your email provider or, if you’re using a popular email service, you can find these settings in the POP and IMAP email settings for Outlook topic.
When do I need to change my email settings?
Sometimes you need to make a change to your email account settings. If you have a new password, if your email provider has asked you to change settings, or if you’re having problems with sending and receiving email, you can change your email account settings through Mail in the Windows Control Panel, or from Outlook. Want to see how it’s done?
If your organization does not allow anonymous SMTP email messages to be sent by using Exchange Server, you can use a local SMTP server in the SharePoint farm that accepts anonymous email messages. The local SMTP server automatically authenticates the messages and then forwards them to the computer that’s running Exchange Server.
Why is my SharePoint not connecting to my mail server?
There is likely a restriction on the mail server which is preventing you from relaying from your SharePoint servers to your mail server (e.g. they have added specific allowed IPs in a receive connector). This will use Windows PowerShell to test email. Make sure to run this on your SharePoint server.
Make Sure your SharePoint server register properly with Exchange / SMTP relay ( if they not then email will not go out.) From central admin, make sure the timer job related to alerts is working, it should not be disable as well as not throwing an error. Timer service should be running on all server.
