There isn't enough information here for me to help you but I can ask some questions. What is it doing? Do you have it enabled in the configuration? Is the user you're trying to validate a user that has a valid e-mail address? What do the logs say?

The logs are pretty descriptive for the validation stuff assuming you have it enabled and the user has a valid e-mail.

I am testing with my email once I leaned it was suddenly not working. So email is valid.. Could you point me to the validation log? Been hunting for it with no luck..

every other server and service that hits that smtp server validates and sends the message so I am not sure why this bbs stopped working.

Have you double checked your SMTP settings in Config > Servers > General?

It should not be possible for it to say "Could not athenticate" without showing the raw communication with the SMTP server in your node log (unless your settings are somehow wrong/corrupt).

I was able to find this in nodelog not sure if it helps or not.

2021.08.12 13:40:04 SMTP R:530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS
command first

Your connection requires TLS. Check to make sure you have
Configuration > Servers > General > SMTP Use SSL/TLS set to "Yes".

I have tried all variations in there, I actually am using port 587 so need starttls is there an option in there for that? or is that the option your talking about? If so I have had it on/off/forced with every auth method login/plain/cram/none and have not been able to get it to connect. When it was working is was set to login/ssl set to yes.

Yes note the location in the quote above you have to set "Use SSL/TLS" to Yes in the SMTP settings to enable TLS. You also need to have your cryptlib installed and of course your other SMTP settings would be needed as well.

The log says you don't have TLS enabled so you either don't have that set to properly or there is no cryptlib.

Great to hear thanks for the update.

Sometimes its easy to accidentally switch off one of those settings when you are browsing around the configuration so maybe that happened. Or who knows maybe something happened with the upgrade that reset the setting? Either way glad its working now!
