I am currently trying to create a new user, but whenever I save the new users it only says that sending the email has failed.

Unfortunately there is no way to test the email settings in Limesurvey (send a test mail).

Is there a way I can find out what went wrong?

I saw other people's question to find out root cause, but it still failed.

Limesurvey Using Version 2.62.2+170203 on Ubuntu 16.04 server
Mail server using version Microsoft Exchange 2010

Below is my email settings at Global settings -> Email settings
Default site admin email: sherry.lin@tpv-tech.com
Administrator name: sherry.lin
Email method: SMTP
SMTP host: tpmail.tpvaoc.com
SMTP username: sherry.lin
SMTP encryption: Off
SMTP debug mode: On
Email batch size: 50


I found weird situation.
If I used "Configuration"-->"Create/edit user groups"-->"Email user group", message sent successfully!
If I used "Configuration"-->"Manage survey administrators"-->"Add user", it will show "Email to XXXXX failed. And the top will show below error.

2017-02-15 06:19:14 CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT 2017-02-15 06:19:14 SERVER -> CLIENT: 221 2.0.0 Service closing transmission channel




Limesurvey server didn't have below log after I occurred sent email failed.
/var/log/apache2/server-error.log
and
/var/log/apache2/mail.log

can anyone help? its urgent ;(

thank you!

After create LDAP user, it will show below error.

Hi,

My point of view : we must be allowed to create user without email.

And think we MUST be allowed for LDAP plugin or AuthWebserver plugin because : no email was to be sent.

Maybe best : report the bug / feature request ?

Hi Denis,

I only enabled LDAP plugin and it works great, I don't enable AuthWebserver plugin.
Where the log that I can provide to you about this issue?

Thanks and best regards,
Sherry
