I can't get any email notification to work on 2.3-ALPHA.
I have a config.xml section that looks like:
<smtp><ipaddress>mail.company.co.uk</ipaddress>
<port>465</port>
<notifyemailaddress>phil.davis@company.co.uk</notifyemailaddress>
<username>phil.davis@company.co.uk</username>
<password>MyPasswordHere</password>
<authentication_mechanism>PLAIN</authentication_mechanism>
<fromaddress>phil.davis@company.co.uk</fromaddress></smtp>
I have changed the FQDNs and password in the post above, of course. But the format is exactly as above.
That works on a 2.2.5-DEVELOPMENT system (my home router). It does not work on my 2.3-ALPHA test system, using the same settings - the same errror in the system log as posted above. I switched slices on the 2.3-ALPHA test system back to 2.2.5-DEVELOPMENT and "Test SMTP" works fine - that is using the exact same config.xml from the 2.3-ALPHA system.
I have compared /etc/inc/notices.inc on 2.2.5 and 2.3 and cannot see any functional difference.
I don't think this is particularly about PLAIN and LOGIN authentication mechanism.
Maybe something is not happy in the underlying SMTP library that is used?
Does anyone else have working SMTP E-mail notification settings in 2.3-ALPHA?
