h1. Email Configuration
{{>toc}}
h2. Configuration Directives
This page is a work in progress, the following configuration directives are is only a partial list.
h3. authentication
The type of authentication method expected by your service provider.
Valid settings:
* :login
* :none
(note: if you set this to @:none@, you must not include the @user_name@ and @password@ settings)
h3. delivery_method
The mail transport method to be used.
Valid settings:
* :smtp
* :async_smtp - valid in trunk/0.9+ only
* :sendmail
* :async_sendmail - valid in trunk/0.9+ only
h4. Asynchronous delivery_methods
The @:async_smtp@ and @:async_sendmail@ use asynchronous sends, which means mean Redmine does not wait for the email to be sent to display the next page. See "Asynchronous Email Delivery":http://redmineblog.com/articles/asynchronous-email-delivery/ for more details.
h2. Example email.yml Configurations
h3. Simple Login Authentication (default settings)
<pre>
# Outgoing email settings
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.example.net
port: 25
domain: example.net
authentication: :login
user_name: redmine@example.net
password: redmine
development:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: 127.0.0.1
port: 25
domain: example.net
authentication: :login
user_name: redmine@example.net
password: redmine
</pre>
*If you want to use GMail/Google Apps and other TLS-requiring SMTP servers*, you'll have to add some TLS-related settings :
<pre>
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
tls: true
enable_starttls_auto: true
address: "smtp.gmail.com"
port: '587'
domain: "smtp.gmail.com"
authentication: :plain
user_name: "your_email@gmail.com"
password: "your_password"
</pre>
However, this will only work with "recent" enough ruby and rails versions (1.8.7 patchset 2xx and 2.3.5).
(See #5814 )
h3. No Authentication
Example for an SMTP service provider with no authentication. Note the colon before none.
<pre>
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.knology.net
port: 25
domain: cybersprocket.com
authentication: :none
</pre>
h3. Using sendmail command
Example for a unix system that uses the @/usr/sbin/sendmail@ command.
<pre>
production:
delivery_method: :sendmail
</pre>
