Office 365 with Jim2 Email (Outgoing Email)

Scroll Prev Top Next More

See here for setting up Office 365 email accounts first. These instructions are for both Jim2.Cloud and Jim2 on-premises.

 

Sending email

The best approach is to have a relay connector created that allows Jim2 to send outbound email without authentication via Office 365. The only requirement is that a static IP address is required for this to be possible.

 

If you are a Jim2.Cloud customer, please contact support@happen.biz requesting the static IP address of your Jim2.Cloud server.

 

Setup details can be found here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn554323(v=exchg.150).aspx (copy and paste into a web browser).

 

Once the SPF record and relay connector are configured, set up the SMTP in Email Options within Office 365.

Your DNS SPF Record will need to be updated to avoid having messages flagged as spam. Add the static IP address (Public IP) of your Jim2 Server to your SPF record in your domain registrar's DNS setting as follows:

 

v=spf1 +ip4:Your Static IP include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all

10.If your Microsoft 365 Tenant was created on or after 1 January 2023, you may receive an error stating that the connector cannot be enabled without contacting support. Please contact Microsoft Support (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2135368 - copy and paste into a browser) requesting the connector be enabled for the purpose of sending mail from Jim2:

 

Once the relay connector has been set up, SMTP needs to be disabled on all O365 mailboxes individually in Jim2:

Tip

Office 365 shared mailboxes do not require a separate licence, so are ideal for Jim2 managed email addresses. However, please note that all users who access the shared mailbox must have their own Office 365 licence.
