Start the SMTP Service on the Target

If your applications use JavaMail and require access to the local Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server on the operating system, then you must start the SMTP server.

Note:

For the Oracle Java Cloud Service nodes in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, the SMTP server is not configured to run by default for nodes in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Unlike Oracle Java Cloud Service nodes in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, the SMTP server is not configured to run by default for nodes in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Alternatively, you can configure your JavaMail sessions to use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Email Delivery. See Overview of the Email Delivery Service in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

  1. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the Administration Server node on the target instance as the opc user.
  2. Configure and start the SMTP server on the node.
  3. Connect to all Managed Server nodes in the target instance that require access to the local SMTP server, and then repeat the previous step.
