Ceki Gulcu commented on LBCORE-225:
-----------------------------------

For future reference, the relevant  patch can be found at [1]. It consists of removing the line which set the property "mail.smtp.auth" to true within the if(isisSTARTTLS()) branch in SMTpAppednerBase class.

      if (isSTARTTLS()) {
-        props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
         props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
      }

Tests on pixie (postfix) show that for authentication disabled server, setting the aforementioned property results in

 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender[EMAIL] - Error occurred while sending e-mail notification. javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException
	at javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException
	at 	at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:306)
	at 	at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:156)
	at 	at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:105)
	at 	at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:168)
	at 	at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:98)

	at 	at ch.qos.logback.core.net.SMTPAppenderBase.append(SMTPAppenderBase.java:180)

This confirms the problem reported in this bug.
