Hi,

Set-SPWebApplication : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'SMTPServerPort'.

Request you to please suggest us on this, it will be appreciable.

Hi @Sunny Rastogi ,

Thank you for posting in this community.

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 follows the Fixed Lifecycle Policy: Apr 13, 2021.We recommend that you upgrade as soon as possible.

Run the following PowerShell commands to get the web application and then configure the outgoing email settings for that web application.

$WebApp = Get-SPWebApplication -Identity <web application URL>

$SmtpServer = "mail.example.com"
$SmtpServerPort = 587
$FromAddress = "user@example.com"
$ReplyToAddress = "replyto@example.com"
$Credentials = Get-Credential
$smtpcert = Get-SPCertificate -Identity "SMTP Cert"

Set-SPWebApplication -Identity $CentralAdmin -SMTPServer $SmtpServer -SMTPServerPort $SmtpServerPort -OutgoingEmailAddress $FromAddress -ReplyToEmailAddress $ReplyToAddress -SMTPCredentials $Credentials -Certificate $smtpcert

Note:

To specify credentials for SMTP authentication, use the Get-Credential cmdlet and pass it as the value for the -SMTPCredentials parameter. To specify that SharePoint should connect to the SMTP server anonymously, pass $null as the value for the -SMTPCredentials parameter. If you don't specify the -SMTPCredentials parameter, it will preserve the existing authentication settings.
