wrong email setting in configuration.yml preventing redmine server from starting
0%
Description
The user help link:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration
gives wrong description and example for no authentication. follow the example, redmine server failed to start up.
The correct example should be like this (and it is generated at the time of installation):
default:
# Outgoing emails configuration (see examples above)
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
tls: false
address: localhost
port: 25
domain: localhost
authentication: :plain
user_name: "user@redmine.com"
password: ""

I found the Wiki page is editable. Does it mean that it's free to edit, for everyone?

Yes, that page is editable by anybody, and improvements are highly welcome.
However, I don't think the example Qian Jiang gives is quite right either. E.g. "tls: false" does not seem to use a valid key. But it is still true that "authentication: :none" is wrong, yet using "plain" with an empty password does not seem to be the correct thing (in general) either. Rather, the "authentication" key should simply be omitted, or "nil" be used as value.

I have updated the wiki page, trying to sync it with the current Action Mailer documentation. Please take a look and see if this helps. Thanks for the feedback!

PS: And if somebody from the Redmine team reads this: At the bottom of http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration is a weird attachment, looks like spam, please remove that if possible (I was not able to do it).
