Redmine

Hi Tikoti,
You could try async delivery.
Are you located in China? Google services have been disrupted there for the past few weeks.
Cheers,

Hi Martin,

I'm located in Spain, gmail is working as a charm

I have changed to asyncronous, without luck

production:
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :async_smtp
async_smtp_settings:
enable_starttls_auto: true
address: "smtp.gmail.com"
port: '587'
domain: "smtp.gmail.com"
authentication: :plain

I am a little bit concern though that the error remains the same ""An error occurred while sending mail (execution expired)"

I just change the configuration.yml by hand, perhaps I didn't install redmine correctly? Is it posible that it isn't taking my changes into account?

Regards,

I have commented out
config.action_mailer.logger = nil in
config/environments/production.rb
as suggested in http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/FAQ#Email-notifications-are-not-working

and now I get the following error
(Permission denied - connect(2))

New error with gmail

(wrong argument (NilClass)! (Expected kind of OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext))

I have finally solved by using the fix suggested in another post

gem install mail -v 2.5.3
edit Gemfile.lock and substitute mail 2.5.4 → mail 2.5.3
restart apache -> service httpd restart

my configuration.yml is as follows

production: 
  email_delivery: 
    delivery_method: :smtp 
    smtp_settings: 
      enable_starttls_auto: true 
      address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      port: '587' 
      domain: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      authentication: :plain 
      user name:
      password:

Hi,

I've tried Tikoti's solution without success. Below the error message.

Erreur lors de l'envoi de l'email (Timeout::Error).

configuration.yml [Production section]
--------------------------------------

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      port: '587'
      domain: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      authentication: :plain
      user_name: testtest@gmail.com
      password: ABCD12345abcd

Here are my environment informations.
I'm really stuck at this point.

maybe too late but did you try with int type for the port (without quote')

port: 587
