SSL SMTP setup

Added by Yang Zhang over 14 years ago

How do I set up SSL SMTP?

Trying to get things hooked up to smtp.gmail.com (to get going quickly):

But the docs don't touch on this:

http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Email_Configuration

Thanks in advance for any hints.

After setting up my config/email.yml, redmine is apparently not seeing it.

I just get:

"""
Email delivery is not configured, and notifications are disabled.
Configure your SMTP server in config/email.yml and restart the application to enable them.
"""

I verified that the file has the same permissions/owner as its neighboring files, and I tried adding tmp/restart.txt and also restarting Apache. Any hints?

After a long time of messing around, I've got redmine running on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. Here's the top-to-bottom:

  • Add the below snippet to your apache conf.
  • Follow the instructions on that blog post.
  • email.yml goes in /etc/redmine/default/, not config/.
  • Restart apache2. Simply touching tmp/restart.txt doesn't do anything, for whatever reason.
  • Configure your admin email address (login: admin/admin) to something that you can get mail at (defaults to ). Also change your password.
  • Users' attempts to create accounts results in approval messages at the admin email address.

Also, sorry I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum.

Ah, didn't notice that either, but I corrected it. Glad you got it working :-)
