Description

  • I am unable to send mail to the outbound filter
  • Error: Failed to send AUTH command. SMTP server does not support any authentication mechanisms. Remove email credentials, or use a server which supports authentication.

Environment

  • Mail Assure
  • Sending mail server relaying to Mail Assure
    • Exchange 2013/2016/2019

Solution

  • Ensure that the Mail Server's option for Basic Authentication only after starting TLS is enabled
  • Mail Assure only accepts credentials using encrypted connections for security.
