Description

NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

The current process for setting up a secure smtp connection is a joke.

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+Server+for+Outgoing+Mail?focusedCommentId=168002633#comment-168002633

The process is very simular for JIRA too:

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+JIRA+to+Send+SMTP+Mail

The problem with the JIRA process is that it requests the user to move jars around in the archive we give them (on top of the config problems)!

I've attached a screenshot of setting up secure smtp in TeamCity - no xml editing, no downloading certificates, it's all done from the admin screen and works first go.

This is going to become more of a problem as more people move to Google Apps, as the gmail smtp server will only allow secure connections.
