Jenkins: Setting up Email Notification using Google SMTP

This is just about the same as the earlier post about Setting up Jenkins' Email Notification using Yahoo SMTP, only now it's for Google SMTP.

SMTP server - pop.gmail.com
Default user e-mail suffix - @gmail.com
Sender E-mail Address - Foobar CI <your.email@gmail.com>

Use SMTP Authentication - yes
User Name - your.email
Password - p******d

Use SSL - yes
SMTP Port - 995
Reply-To Address - noreply@gmail.com
Charset - UTF-8

To try if it's really working, type-in your email address and click Test Configuration, then you should be able to receive something like: "This is test email #1 sent from Jenkins"

Alternatively, you can also use smtp.gmail.com as SMTP server then use the SMTP port, 465. (Big thanks to Anthony Panozzo for sharing and Julio Carrettoni for confirming)

Jenkins: Setting up Email Notification using Yahoo SMTP

NOTE: This tutorial is for developers who are using Jenkins installed on their local server (with Internet Connectivity).

So you want to setup Jenkin's Email Notification but you don't have email server?

Assuming you have Yahoo Email account, that will work just fine. We just have to configure the Email Notification of Jenkins.

Under Manage Jenkins, go down to E-mail Notification then set these following information:
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Default user e-mail suffix - @yahoo.com
Sender E-mail Address - Foobar CI <your.email@yahoo.com>

Use SMTP Authentication - yes
User Name - your.email
Password - p******d

Use SSL - yes
SMTP Port - 465
Reply-To Address - noreply@yahoo.com
Charset - UTF-8

Optionally, you might want to try if it's really working. Type-in your email address and click Test Configuration.

You should be able to receive something like: "This is test email #20 sent from Jenkins"

Below is what your configuration should look like.

Happy spamming! :P
