Setting the email notification FROM parameter

Added by cyril Thibout about 7 years ago

Even if I set info@mydomain.com in the redmine settings panel as the expeditor email, all the email notifications are sent with the FROM parameter set with the same email used for the authentication (defined in the configuration.yml file).

I must add I use the SMTP method as defined in the configuration.yml file:

smtp_settings:
        delivery_method: :smtp
        enable_starttls_auto: true
        address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
        domain: "gmail.com" 
        port: 587
        authentication: :plain
        user_name: "toto@gmail.com" 
        password: "xxxxxx"

SO IS THERE A WAY TO SPECIFY A DIFFERENT EMAIL FOR THE 'FROM' parameter as the one used for authentication please?

Thanks

Cyril

It is because you are using Gmail as an SMTP server. They rewrite the From field in messages.

Ok thanks for the explanation.

I used gmaim smtp because the office365 smtp is much much slower : we have to wait 2-4 seconds at each submission.
Maybe you know a way to make the email notification with o365 much faster ?

Meanwhile I revert back to the o365 settigns, at least the FROM parameter is right.

Thanks

Have you tried asyncronous delivery setting?

RE: Setting the email notification FROM parameter - Added by cyril Thibout about 7 years ago

No I didn't know

I tried

email_delivery:
      async_smtp_settings:
        delivery_method: :async_smtp
        enable_starttls_auto: true
        address: "smtp.office365.com" 
        port: 587
        domain: "smtp.office365.com" 
        authentication: :login
        user_name: "info@mydomain.com" 
        password: "xxxx"

but now in the redmine email notification test I get :

hostname "localhost" does not match the server certificate

Maybe you have to describe "delivery_method" before "async_smtp_settings" like this.

  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :async_smtp
    async_smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "smtp.office365.com" 
      port: 587
      domain: "smtp.office365.com" 
      authentication: :login
      user_name: "info@mydomain.com" 
      password: "xxxx"

THis is perfectly working: the email is sent without blocking redmine
