Email Notification on Calendar list Sharepoint Foundation 2013 not sending out email

Hi,
Actually i have 2 problem. I just don't have any idea how to solve them.
1 ) I have a machine installed with Windows Server2012 and Sharepoint Foundation 2013. Email invitation from system and alert me email is working fine. Then I created a few email sending workflow using sharepoint designer 2013. The email are going out fine
for list or document library but gave out error when i tried to send from Calendar list. The error is saying that the outgoing email is not configured correctly. If that was the case, should it be that i will receive error for all.
2) I have another machine with same installation as above but doesn't send out any kind of email(Invitation,alert me, SPD2013 custom worflow). I've checked telnet port 587, it is responding fine. I want to know if i need to open port in the firewall/router
settings for this port or if this issue is due to something else.
Any help is really appreciated.

What about Relay and Authentication?

Look.
I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Could not send out email...found out the real reason

I use windows live mail.When I was away from home I could not send out any emails. When I called tech support, I was told because I was not at home using my DSL router. I mentioned that I could receive emails from Verizon no problem but could not send out.
The real reason was my anti-virus out-bound email scan. When I turned off this scan, all my outbound mail went out.

that's a great tip for forum users. thanks for sharing with everyone.

Can I configure incoming email to a Calendar in SharePoint Online 2013?

I'd like to send invitations from my Outlook Calendar to my SharePoint Calendar inSharePoint Online 2013. Is there a way to do this? I've searched and see that I need to change the Incoming Mail Settings, but that doesn't appear under
Communications in SharePoint Online. I'm not sure how to configure the Incoming Mail Settings to appear under Communications in SharePoint Online.

Sharepoint Server 2013 not sending Email notification

I have a Sharepoint 2013 farm that is not sending any kind of email notifications. I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm whit the same Outgoing Email settings and it is sending emails notifications normaly.
The SMTP service (the role) is in the same member servers of the 2013 farm, so it is reachable. The timer service is running well in both member servers of the 2013 farm. We don't have an On-premise Exchange enviroment because we use Office 365 (I cannot
set the sharepoint servers as allowed to relay in Exchange). The 2010 farm and the 2013 farm have the same Outgoing Email settings, I don´t know why the 2013 does not send emails. It is driving me crazy!.
How can I solve this?

Sharepoint 2007 Workflow not sending out task emails.

Im currently having an issue with our sharpoint 2007 farm. This is currenlty affecting all site collections in the farm.
I have been troubleshooting this for this without any luck. The workflow get created and the person who created the workflow recieve a notification email indicating that the workflow has been created. The users that the workflow is assigned to however never
receive an email notification. This was working fine previoulsy.
1- I have checked the permissions.
2. Timer service is running.
3. Email server is up.
I have checked the event log on the sharepoint server and I cant find anything conclusive that can help me resolve this issue.
I would appreciate any advice on this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dgunz1237
Firstly, please check the setting of your task list, make sure that the E-mail Notification feature of the task list is enabled. Tasks-> Settings->Advanced Settings-> E-Mail Notification. Yes should be selected. You may also add a task manually
to confirm that it works.
Secondly, please check the outgoing e-mail setting first. You can set alert on a list to check whether SharePoint can communicate with the email server properly.
Thirdly, you may check the status of your workflow. Just by pointing to the item that is involved in the workflow, click the arrow that appears, and the workflows. If the workflow run failed, you should also check the History List and ULS log.
Fourthly, you may also restart the Windows SharePoint Services Outgoing Email service to find out the problem. Please open Central Administration -> Operation->Services on Server. Restart the Windows SharePoint Services Outgoing Email service.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

Exchange 2013 will not send out email using MX records, but will via smart host.

When I use a smart host my email goes out fine, but when I use MX look-up it does not.
Inbound mail works when I use Telnet to test it.
Could this be because I'm testing the server from our office that the FQDN on the Exchange Server will not resolve back to the IP address I'm testing from?

Yes almost certainly.
If when the server does the MX lookup for the destination address it resolves to your external IP address then it's quite likely that it won't be able to send. A lot of firewalls can't handle having a connection made from the internal network for an external
IP address that it controls, and won't simply pass the connection back to the internal network. When using the smart host though, the destination is external so the message can reach it and then when the smart host tries to deliver the message to your external
IP it's coming from an external source so it works.
Tricky one to explain but I hope that makes sense.

Since upgraded phone to 2.0, cannot send out email

I recently upgraded my iphone to 2.0 (mistake!) and now cannot send out email from my iphone. I have tried deleting all my email accounts and re-setting it up on my iphone rather than syncing with my computer but it still will not send out email. I can send out email from my computer and used the same settings for both...

Also having mixed success sending mail on the iPhone, which is disappointing because I haven't had to send a lot of messages. Out of about 6 attempts, I've had two replies completely disappear. They weren't sent, they weren't in the outbox to send later. They just disappeared. One was while on my home network, the other was while I was traveling. I am very bothered that the emails aren't saved to try and send later.

New iPad won't send out emails on VerizonLTE or 3G network, but will do so on wi-fi - help?

Been through the wringer on this one. Verizon or local cable co. have not helped. New iPad will not send out emails while in LTE or 3g, but will do so in wi-fi. Have checked settings, restarted, reset settings, etc. Any ideas would be appreciated. BTW, I have an iPhone with Verizon and it sends out emails with exactly the same settings as the iPad while on 3g. This has been nuts.

Hi all:
Just found the answer to this thanks to Chris CA. In outgoing email settings, for some reason, the new iPad must have username and password entered even though it says optional. Once I entered that data, emails sent right out! The Verizon techs or my cable co. techs never suggested doing so after many hours of troubleshooting. This forum always has the real "experts". Thanks again, Chris.

Any ideas what could cause this problems?

Hi Reinhard ,
According to your error message, it says that no data is available after encoding the social notification mail message. It should be caused by the E-Mail encoding setting.
For troubleshooting your issue, please check the character set of your E-Mail Settings:
Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.
On the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings.
On the System Settings page, in the E-Mail and Text Messages(SMS) section, click Configure outgoing e-mail settings.
On the Outgoing E-Mail Settings page, make sure
Character set setting is 65001(Unicode UTF-8).

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

Restrict Which Users Can Enter Data In List Form in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Is there a way to restrict which users can enter data in particular fields in a list item entry form?
We are using a SharePoint Foundation 2013 list and calendar to manage vacation time. We need to restrict non-supervisor users users from entering a value in a certain field in the vacation request form.
Here is how the system works now:
1. Employees complete the vacation request form (which creates a list item)
2. An email is sent to their supervisor to either approve or decline the request
3. Approved requests are automatically entered onto the vacation calendar
We have restricted the list so that only supervisors can edit items (the pending vacation requests). The problem is that all users can mark their own requests as approved when they fill out the request form in the first place. Is there a way to restrict
which users can enter data in particular fields on a list item entry form?

Thanks for the suggestion. We ended up 1) hiding the approval column and 2) creating a second list, workflow, etc. The user no longer sees the approval column when filling out the form. Requests are now submitted to list A. Workflow #1 copies the request
to List B, then deletes the item from List A. Once the request is added to List B, Workflow #2 emails the user that the request has been received and emails the supervisor that a request needs to be approved. Only supervisors have editing permissions on List
B. Approved requests are automatically added to the vacation calendar (the calendar view of List B).
We found the following site to be helpful in learning how to hide the list column:

SharePoint Foundation 2013 AAM, alerts, URL in email alerts

Hello all,
I have the following situation.
SharePoint Foundation 2013 server updated to October CU. Created an web application and extended it for internet zone. AAM are defined. This is a new farm. No content database was attached. No previously created
alerts.
I can access this web app with:
http://servername for the default zone and http://internet for thw internet zone.
If i subscribe to receive alerts using the internet zone url the first email that i get contains correct URL to http://internet but the further emails regarding the actual changes contain references to the
URL from the default zone http://servername excepting the mobile view button wich goes to http://internet....
Thank you

It is recommended that you use a single FQDN + SSL Url (if you have external access) due to issues with alerts like this.

Disappearing Sharepoint Foundation 2013 anonymous list submissions

I have a custom Sharepoint Foundation 2013 list configured to allow anonymous submissions from a public facing website, but which requires admin permissions to view the full list content. Think like a contact form or an online application - anonymous users
can submit a new item via the form, but get "permission denied" when attempting to access the list itself. I've customized the New Item .aspx in Sharepoint Designer, and I've also added a redirect page after submission for a "confirmation"
page.
This seems to work perfectly in all of my tests - but I have several dozen users who have reported correctly filling out the form, pressing "Submit," and being taken to the confirmation page, but the list item is nowhere to be found when I log in
and look at the list. It appears that somehow Sharepoint is losing the new list item, while still redirecting users to the post-submission confirmation page.
If it was a single user, I'd chalk it up to user error (not pressing Submit or something), but I have enough identical reports to verify that this is definitely happening and data is definitely being lost. I have similar reports from users of all 3 major browsers,
both Mac and PC.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this behavior on demand - the form works fine for me no matter what I throw at it. There's nothing in the recycle bin, no validation errors (I've turned off all validation for the form), and I have tried every browser/OS combination
I can think of. In every single test I have done, the form submits flawlessly, and the new list item appears immediately - even for a blank form.
Any ideas? Where do I even start trying to troubleshoot this if it happens seemingly at random?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts...

Hello,
Without being able to reproduce the problem I can imagine this will be a difficult one to diagnose. I would start by getting some dates and times from users from when they did submit items that they are claiming did not appear in the list. I would then look
in the ULS logs around these times and see if you can see the item being submitted / created.
Regards.

Absence and Vacation Tracking in SharePoint Foundation 2013

We upgraded from Sharepoint Foundation 2010 to SharePoint Foundation 2013. The absence and vacation template no longer works. Does anyone know of a free replacement?

We ended up just creating a workflow that emails the necessary information whenever an item is added or changed to the list. Doing this avoids the default notification email ("A task has been assigned...") altogether. It is also much more straightforward
than using "if then" and "what if" type statements.
We found this webpage to be a good starting point to creating both the list and associated workflow:
http://camerondwyer.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/implementing-a-simple-sharepoint-issue-tracking-system-with-cc-style-notification-emails-when-items-are-updated
To automatically add approved vacation days to a calendar:
1. Open the list
2. Click Create View, then click Calendar View
3. Name the calendar, set time intervals, etc.
4. Set "Show items only when the following is true" so that Vacation Request Status (or whatever you chose to call it in your list) "is equal to" "Approved" (or whatever you chose to call it).
