Cause

The SMTP server has prevented you from sending an email with this from address. In your SMTP Config, if you have Send emails from set to The User address, Fisheye/Crucible will attempt to send the review notification as the user performing the action. The credentials that are used to connect to the SMTP server does not have permission to send emails as this user.

Resolution

Use one of the two solutions below:

  1. In the SMTP Config change Send emails from to the Server address (below)

  2. Adjust the configuration on your SMTP server so that the configuration credentials can send emails as any user
