  • which versions are you using - SonarQube Server / Community Build, 2025.1
  • how is SonarQube deployed: zip
  • what are you trying to achieve - setup SMTP settings

Previously, in 9.9 LTS it was possible to use the sonar.properties file to configure the SMTP settings for SonarQube, using the email. properties - email.smtp_host.secured, email.smtp_port.secured, email.smtp_username.secured , email.smtp_password.secured and so on.
After updating to 2025.1, those options are now ignored and do nothing regarding the SMTP configuration.

Documentation as always is absolutely lacking regarding things.

SMTP settings has mandatory Username/Password fields in 2015.1

Hi,

You were exploiting a bug. This was never supposed to work. We (finally!) closed that up, which is why you’re not able to exploit it any more.

 
HTH,

I see, thats unfortunate, it makes pre-defining such options no longer possible.
