1.3.2: An error occurred while sending mail (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known)
0%
Description
This seems to be a very classic error that never occurred to me in previous versions of Redmine.
- Redmine 1.3.2.
- configuration.yml:
production: email_delivery: delivery_method: :sendmail
Same configuration (but using email.yml instead) works in other Redmine installations in the same server (but previous versions).
When sending a testing mail I get:
An error occurred while sending mail (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known)
Honestly I don't know what more to check, all is correct IMHO. Any tip please?

Ok, fixed. The "problem" was the content of the configuration.yml copied from configuration.yml.example:
At the top it contains:
production:
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :sendmail
But at the bottom it overrides such "production" key:
# specific configuration options for production environment # that overrides the default ones production:
And since such a "production" key contains no value, "default" settings ("smtp.example.net") are taken, so fail.
Once such a line is commented the problem goes away.
NOTE: I suggest making more clear the configuration.yml file to avoid this problem.
