h4. Asynchronous delivery_methods
34
35 30 Miodrag Milic
The @:async_smtp@ and @:async_sendmail@ use asynchronous sends, which means 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. Some SMTP servers have delay period before processing takes place as anti-spam feature, during which time synchronous method will block Redmine ("10 seconds":http://answers.bitnami.org/questions/4421/updating-an-issue-in-redmine-takes-10-seconds could be default value, see also #11376 for more information) .

h3. Error: "hostname was not match with the server certificate"
125
126
If you get this error, there's probably a problem verifying the SSL certificate of your smtp relay. As a temporary fix, you can set this option in the appropriate "email_delivery" section:
127
128
    enable_starttls_auto: false
129
130 36 Richard Gomes
h3. Error: "Mail failure - no recipient addresses"
131
132
When this error happens, the notification is not delivered to the destination address. Instead, you will probably receive a rejection message on your sender address, where you can see the header of the message sent, containing "From:" fields but not containing any "To:" fields.
133
134 39 Richard Gomes
This error is common on *Debian* boxes, due to the way _exim4_ is configured by default, which is @"-i -t"@. This configuration tells _exim4_ that the destination address is inside the header of the message. Instead, we need to configure _exim4_ so that the destination address will be retrieved from the command line.
135 36 Richard Gomes
136 37 Richard Gomes
The solution consists on editing your _config/configuration.yml_ and making sure you define @arguments@ containing the string @"-i"@, as shown below:
137 36 Richard Gomes
138
<pre>
139
# default configuration options for all environments
140
default:
141
  email_delivery:    
142
    delivery_method: :sendmail
143
    sendmail_settings:
144
      arguments: "-i" 
145
</pre>
146
147 38 Richard Gomes
The example above employs @:sendmail@ method, which employs @sendmail_settings@. In case you are using some other method, try @smtp_settings@ instead.
