Email notifications - Error - Redmine

Email notifications - Error

Hello,

I have trouble to configure the email notification in Redmine v. 1.1.1.
At first I configured the email.yml file:

production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: 192.168.1.54
    port: 25
    domain: domain.de
    authentication: :login
    user_name: "max" 
    password: "max"

And than I tried to send a testmail in Redmine and got the following error:

An error occurred while sending mail (getaddrinfo: Die Speichersteuerbl�cke wurden zerst�rt. )

The SMTP server is located in our company, but the SMTP server is not running on the same server as redmine.

Log file:

Processing AdminController#test_email (for 192.168.1.177 at 2011-03-04 11:31:36) [GET]
  Parameters: {"action"=>"test_email", "controller"=>"admin"}

Redirected to http://server:3000/settings/edit?tab=notifications
Completed in 11ms (DB: 2) | 302 Found [http://server/admin/test_email]

Here are a few additional information:

Use a dns name instead of IP ?

RE: Email notifications - Error - Added by Josef S. over 13 years ago

Now I tried to solve to problem with the dns name, but it doesn't work.

production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: smtpserver
    port: 25
    domain: domain.de
    authentication: :login
    user_name: "max" 
    password: "max"

Is Redmine machine seeing SMTP machine?
Are you able to ping or traceroute the SMTP machine from Redmine machine? May be you have network problem not Ruby/Redmine problem...

or...

Make a try without

    authentication: :login
    user_name: "max" 
    password: "max"

(if your SMTP server does not require authentication)

Thank you for your help.

The solution of my problem was to restart the server.

RE: Email notifications - Error - Added by O.J. Sousa Rodrigues over 13 years ago

i did everything.

restarted the machine and or apache2 after each config tryout in email.yml

the only thing get is:

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

running it on debian with apache2 and passenger. there must be a way to restart redmine!
how can this information not be in the wiki.
wiki always tells me to restart it, but please! tell me how...

i did search everywhere for this answer... now i am posting it here... please help.

redmine is great.
