SMTP-365

Keep scan-to-email working after Microsoft 365 switched off basic auth.

SMTP-365 is a small relay that runs on your network. Printers and other legacy devices keep sending plain SMTP exactly as they always have; SMTP-365 delivers it to Microsoft 365 securely with modern authentication, and can file scans straight into SharePoint.

One-time licence per appliance with 12 months of updates included. No per-user or per-device fees.

The problem

Basic authentication is gone. Your devices never learned anything else.

Printers stop scanning to email

Multi-function printers only speak legacy SMTP, usually with no authentication and often no TLS. Exchange Online now refuses that, so scan-to-email quietly stops working.

Alerts silently vanish

UPS units, server management cards, NAS boxes and phone systems all email their warnings the same way. When they can't, you don't find out until something has already failed.

The workarounds are worse

Turning security settings back on, exposing SMTP relays, or hand-building OAuth2 connectors per device: fragile, risky, and a job nobody wants to own.

How it works

Three steps, one settings change on each device.

Point the device at SMTP-365

Change the SMTP server on your printer or device to the relay's address. No username, no password, no certificates. That's the only change your devices ever need.

SMTP-365 delivers through Microsoft Graph

Every message is written to disk, then sent to Microsoft 365 using an application identity that holds only Mail.Send and Sites.Selected. Temporary Microsoft outages are retried automatically.

Mail and scans arrive where you want

Messages are sent from a mailbox you choose. Scans addressed to name@sharepoint.local are converted to PDF and filed in the SharePoint folder you mapped in the browser.

Works with

Built for printers. Works for anything that sends email.

The email relay path serves every legacy SMTP source. Scan-to-SharePoint is the document-centric extra that makes it shine on multi-function printers.

MFP

Multi-function printers

Scan to email, or straight into a SharePoint folder as a PDF. Any brand that can send SMTP.

UPS

UPS units

APC, Eaton and others: power, battery and self-test alerts keep arriving.

iLO

Server management

HP iLO, Dell iDRAC, Lenovo XClarity hardware and health notifications.

NAS

NAS devices

Synology, QNAP and others: backup, disk and job reports.

PBX

Phone systems

PBX and VoIP voicemail-to-email and system alerts.

BMS

Alarm and building systems

Access control, alarm panels and building-management notifications.

APP

Monitoring and apps

Any tool or line-of-business application that emails reports over SMTP.

Devices with no mailbox

Send everything from one fixed, trusted address, so alerts from a UPS or iLO still land properly.

Features

Set up from a browser. Forget about it afterwards.

Scan to SharePoint

Map addresses to folders with a live folder picker. TIFF, JPEG and PNG scans become one multi-page PDF; PDFs pass straight through.

Never loses a message

Every message is spooled before the device is told "accepted". Retries with back-off, held scans for unmapped addresses, and alert emails to the admin on failure.

Microsoft 365 setup in the wizard

Sign in once as a Global Administrator; the appliance registers its own app with just two permissions. No PowerShell. Verified publisher: Interop Solutions Ltd.

Appliance-grade operations

HTTPS admin UI, firewall managed in the browser, backup and restore, logs, and one-click signed software updates.

FAQ

Common questions

Does SMTP-365 see or store my documents?

It runs entirely on your premises. Scans and alerts travel from your device to your Microsoft 365 tenant through the appliance and nowhere else. Interop Solutions never receives your mail. The only thing the appliance sends us is a licence activation record (licence id, appliance id, version) if you choose to activate online.

What do I need in Microsoft 365?

A Global Administrator to sign in once during setup, a mailbox to send from (a free shared mailbox is fine), and a SharePoint site if you want scan-to-SharePoint. The setup wizard creates the app registration for you with only Mail.Send and Sites.Selected.

Which devices are supported?

Anything that can send email over SMTP to a server address you choose, with authentication and TLS turned off: printers, UPS units, iLO/iDRAC/XClarity, NAS, PBX and VoIP systems, alarms, monitoring tools and applications.

Where does it run?

Today as a virtual appliance on VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox/KVM or from a bootable ISO on any hardware. It needs about 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and a LAN address the devices can reach, plus outbound HTTPS to Microsoft. Linux package, Raspberry Pi and Windows Server editions are on the roadmap.

What if Microsoft 365 is unavailable?

Messages are spooled to disk and retried with exponential back-off for about an hour, then kept for you to re-queue with one click. Nothing is dropped.

Is the trial limited?

No. The 30-day evaluation is the full product. When it ends, scans are held rather than lost until a licence key is entered.
