Ad Blocking?

[Xentrk]

These are the settings I have used.

I think the issue is with the "To" address. Send To: make it the the same outlook account listed in the from address and see if that works. I use the same From/To address in my config.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. I also tried leaving the To name blank and although I didn't get an error message when I ran the test, I didn't receive any e-mails either.

Can you use an editor to view or edit /tmp/mnt/absolution/adblocking/.config/email.cfg file?

Following is an example that you can compare with:

# Email settings (mail envelope) #
FROM_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
TO_NAME="John Doe"
TO_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
# Email credentials #
USERNAME="[email protected]"
PASSWORD="myemailPassWord"
# Server settings #
SMTP="smtp.gmail.com"
PORT="465"

I have never tested with an outlook.com mail account, but for it to work, as other users do, you need to:
- enable POP / IMAP access
- set up 2 FA
- set an app password

Then use the app credentials for AB.

Or you get a Gmail address and use that.
The To fields are used to send the email through to another mail account.
I'm using a gmail account to send it to my primary mail account with the to fields.

The to fields have no influence whether the mail gets accepted or not.

Well, I just tried it with an outlook.com app password. It failed.
But then, so does setting up an app password in iOS, even with the 'Microsoft Authenticator' app installed, so maybe the reason it does not work.
Use a Gmail account, that works for sure.

And bring this question over to the AB 3.8 release thread where it's seen by a much larger audience, maybe one of the users can help set it up.

It's working now (with gmail). Thanks to everyone who helped with this.
