Caused by: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25
Cause
This is one of the known issues with Java 7, as per this post.
This can also be caused by any anti-virus or firewall software installed on the server.
Resolution
- Use the
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=trueJVM system property to help enable support for IPv4 on Java 7. - Check that anti-virus and firewall software on the server is not blocking Stash's ability to connect to the mail server.
