CSET Enterprise not sending emails

[yogybear]

Hello

Just installed CSET enterprise on a windows VM. It seems to be working but when I try registering a user, the initial password is not being sent. I tried editing the file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CSETAPI\appsettings.json as such :

Email": {
"SmtpHost": "smtp.gmail.com",
"SmtpPort": "465",
"SmtpUsername": "*****",
"SmtpPassword": "****",
"SmtpSsl": "true",
"SenderEmail": "my gmail account",
"SenderDisplayName": "CSET User Administration",

Please advise

@yogybear, FWIW, we had zero luck with SSL for outbound emails. We were successful with STARTTLS on Port 587. (Note, we are not using gmail, but our hosting provider, as well as the CSET source code, seem to imply SSL should work. Once we had things working with 587, we haven't spent time on this issue since the CISA PM shop told us v12.4 would be released "in the next few weeks." Of course, that was months ago.)
