email configuration - Ubuntu 12.04 and Redmine 1.4.3 stable
Added by A Hessman about 12 years ago
I have been trying to get my install of Redmine to work with the directions found at:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration
I configured a very simple SMTP definition in configuration.yml (in /redmine/config/ ) and commented everything else out, then deleted it, to read:
production:
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :smtp
domain: myexternaldomain.org
authentication: :none
smtp_settings:
address: <address>
port: <port>
I restarted apache, since I have yet to find a command line option to restart redmine separately (the documentation mentions restarting 'the server').
From the command line on this server, I am able to telnet <address> <port> and HELO, I get a happy 250 Hello.
On the Settings -> Email Notifications tab, I continue to see:
Email delivery is not configured, and notifications are disabled.
Configure your SMTP server in /etc/redmine/<instance>/configuration.yml and restart the application to enable them.
Please help, I'd like to start using this soon, but I need to work out the email configuration first. I haven't even tried to get the incoming mail working yet, but I'd like that as well

What OS is the machine you're running redmine on?

Varies according to the topic. I'll ask you to clarify if you ask me to do / explain something I don't understand.

All right then :-)
First of all, we make sure that your machine can get emails out to your provider.
- What MTA do you use? There's sendmail, exim, qmail, postfix, ... IIRC postfix is the default MTA in Ubuntu.
- Can you send emails from the commandline (and do you receive them)? (http://goo.gl/wFCE6)
- Do you use passenger (aka mod_rails)?
My config is this, note the different sequence, you have auth and domain before smtp_settings...
email_delivery: delivery_method: :smtp smtp_settings: address: 10.11.1.31 port: 25 domain: xxx.com authentication: :none
