Problem getting RTC email configuration working
We are trying to get email configuration set up. We have edited the relevant fields but a test email gets a Could not connect to SMTP host, port:25 Permission denied: connect error.
We have opened relevant port on our IRONPORT system and Firewall but still no mails get through. Our server engineer said McAfee has a setting (from our IT Security dept) to block transmission on port 25 to stop mass emailing worms, BUT exceptions can be added for a specific .exe from the RTC server for this communication.
Does anybody know which .exe RTC uses for the sending emails task?

One can deploy into one of two application servers: WebSphere or Tomcat. Both use a Java Runtime so the process list on the server should show Java. (At least it does on a unix server )
Another thought I had: In the past our corporation blocked outbound mail when the sender did not have a "valid" domain. I.e the sender address would have some host only known within the corporate intranet. Our solution was a fake sender with an acceptable domain.
Example ( in the [hopefully] fictional corporation Bizzurd Enterprises )
jazz@my-rtc.bizzurd.com -- my-rtc.bizzurd.com cannot be found from the 'extranet'
but
jazz@mail.bizzurd.com -- mail.bizzurd.com can be found from the 'extranet'

Jul 03 '14, 9:02 a.m.Beginning with v3, the JTS handles the e-mail chores. So the exe will likely be java, as far as I'm aware all activity on the RTC server is within that java process and its threads ( i.e. no calls to other executables )
