Resolution

Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot the Connection Failed message for outgoing emails:

  1. Verify with your I.T. that your current Email settings are correct in the Customization Manager.  
  2. The Email Server is under the EmailSMTPServer key.
  3. The Username is under the SMTPUserID
  4. The Password is under the SMTPPassword
  5. The port is under the EmailSMTPPort
  6. The email addresses you are using are under EmailFromAddress, DocDelEmailFromAddress, and LendingEmailFromAddress.
  7. If you update any of the keys, you will need to have the Web Server Administrator restart the ILLiad System Manager service.
  8. If you are Hosted by OCLC, please contact OCLC Support.
