ISSUE

How to configure the Mail Service in Unified Workspace to use Google's SMTP server.


SOLUTION
  1. Open webAdmin Dashboard.

  4. Configure the Properties tab as follows:
  1. Mail Service: Enable - checked
  2. SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
  3. Requires TLS: Enable - checked (this will enable Implicit TLS and use port 465)
  4. SMTP Account: <valid Gmail address>
  5. SMTP Password: <password for Gmail address>
  6. Audit CC: Disable - checked (optional, but recommended so that the Audit Email Address does not receive a copy of every message sent from the system.)
  7. Audit Email Address: <valid email address> (optional, but recommended, as this address is used as the From address on all messages sent from the system.  When left blank, it defaults to no-reply@nodomain.com)
  8. Default 'To' Recipient:  <valid email address> (optional)
