Solution
There are two options to set SMTP email notifications in Dbvisit Replicate:
Non encrypted SMTP using port 25If the non-encrypted SMTP option (MAILCFG_USE_SSL = NO) is chosen, then ensure the port (MAILCFG_PORT) is set to 25.SSL/TLS encrypted SMTP using port 465If SSL/TLS SMTP option (MAILCFG_USE_SSL = YES) is chosen, then ensure the port (MAILCFG_PORT) is set to 465.
The following settings are relevant to SMTP email notifications:
*.MAILCFG_SMTP_SERVER = smtp.gmail.com
*.MAILCFG_AUTH_USER = emaillogin@yourcompany.com
*.MAILCFG_PORT = 465
*.NOTIFY_ALL_EMAIL = dba@yourcompany.com
*.MAILCFG_FROM = replicate@dbvisit.com
*.NOTIFY_SUCCESS_EMAIL = dba@yourcompany.com
*.MAILCFG_AUTH_PASSWD = plaintextpassword
*.NOTIFY_ALERT_EMAIL = OFF
*.MAILCFG_USE_SSL = YESNotes:

MAILCFG_USE_SSL = YESandMAILCFG_PORT = 465If
MAILCFG_USE_SSL = YES, thenMAILCFG_PORTmust be set to 465. Setting this to port 25 will result in an error.
