Hello Team , I am getting the following exception while configuring a watcher using outlook account. I am using 7.4 version for all components like filebeat, logstash , kibana and elastic and all these components are running as docker-compose services. Please find the exception occurred while trying to send testmail from kibana ```auto {"type": "deprecation", "timestamp": "2020-04-06T05:49:38,149Z", "level": "WARN", "component": "o.e.d.s.a.b.h.DateHistogramAggregationBuilder", "cluster.name": "elasticsearch-cluster", "node.name": "7ccb62607604", "message": "[interval] on [date_histogram] is deprecated, use [fixed_interval] or [calendar_interval] in the future.", "cluster.uuid": "-R2t1aWKR260F35zpjWkYA", "node.id": "vqTGwlbASkuS8H-xWpJ3Iw" } {"type": "server", "timestamp": "2020-04-06T05:50:00,310Z", "level": "ERROR", "component": "o.e.x.w.a.e.ExecutableEmailAction", "cluster.name": "elasticsearch-cluster", "node.name": "7ccb62607604", "message": "failed to execute action [_inlined_/email_1]", "cluster.uuid": "-R2t1aWKR260F35zpjWkYA", "node.id": "vqTGwlbASkuS8H-xWpJ3Iw" , "stacktrace": ["javax.mail.MessagingException: failed to send email with subject [Watch [Test] has exceeded the threshold] via account [outlook_account]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.notification.email.EmailService.send(EmailService.java:171) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.notification.email.EmailService.send(EmailService.java:163) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.actions.email.ExecutableEmailAction.execute(ExecutableEmailAction.java:72) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.watcher.actions.ActionWrapper.execute(ActionWrapper.java:164) [x-pack-core-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.execution.ExecutionService.executeInner(ExecutionService.java:527) [x-pack-watcher-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.execution.ExecutionService.execute(ExecutionService.java:320) [x-pack-watcher-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.transport.actions.execute.TransportExecuteWatchAction$1.doRun(TransportExecuteWatchAction.java:159) [x-pack-watcher-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.AbstractRunnable.run(AbstractRunnable.java:37) [elasticsearch-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.execution.ExecutionService$WatchExecutionTask.run(ExecutionService.java:620) [x-pack-watcher-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.ThreadContext$ContextPreservingRunnable.run(ThreadContext.java:703) [elasticsearch-7.4.0.jar:7.4.0]", "at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128) [?:?]", "at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:628) [?:?]", "at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:830) [?:?]", "Caused by: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses", "at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.rcptTo(SMTPTransport.java:2055) ~[?:?]", "at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:1277) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.notification.email.Account.send(Account.java:143) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.notification.email.EmailService.send(EmailService.java:169) ~[?:?]", "... 12 more", "Caused by: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found", "", "at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.rcptTo(SMTPTransport.java:1908) ~[?:?]", "at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:1277) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.notification.email.Account.send(Account.java:143) ~[?:?]", "at org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.notification.email.EmailService.send(EmailService.java:169) ~[?:?]", "... 12 more"] } ``` When I tried to send email through telnet using same combination of accounts , its worked for me.

Can you set a proper from address in the watch or in the smtp account setup? ---

Thanks for checking this. I have provided proper sender and receiver address over here while configuring . I tried to send email using telnet with the same set of accounts which worked for me. ---

maybe the output from the [Execute Watch API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/watcher-api-execute-watch.html) or from the watch history can help to debug this further, as this output contains some more detailed information. Thanks! ---
