This topic gives solutions to resolve issues with DriveWorks Autopilot sending emails.

Troubleshooting Steps

Please try the following, which will help to troubleshoot sending emails:

  • Ensure Enable email sending is checked in DriveWorks Autopilot Settings.

Common Error Messages

Solution:

Problem connecting to email server. The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client is not authenticated.

Cause:

  • The SMTP mail server requires a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection.

Solution:

  • Ensure Requires SSL is checked in the Email Settings (for Autopilot) settings.

Email not sent

Cause:
