Hi guys,

Who’s the experts on this forum? I need to ask some questions please :-)

So I’m running 7.47 on Xenial , the Install went fine but I’m not clear on a few things

So I’m struggling with SMTP use my Gmail business email account.

When I log int the GUI and navigate to System Settings—> Email Notifications ——> Configure you email provider.

Question

• What is “SMTP HELLO domain” ?

As I did not configure the SMTP setting at install I’ve run the “openproject configure” command and configured the SMTP settings.

Questions

• Why is there no “SMTP HELLO domain” option as per GUI?
• Once the SMTP settings have been set at the CLI why do they not show in the GUI?

I’ve seen people say I need to set the following commands for Gmail to work

• smtp_enable_starttls_auto: true
  *smtp_openssl_verify_mode:none

Questions

• Do I use the “openproject config:set” command?
• If so what’s the correct syntax for the above commands ?
• Which config file needs to be edited?
• How do I send a test email and view the logs?
• If I configure the SMTP commands at the installation stage do I ignore the fact the setting don’t show up in the GUI or should I set both?
• When I send an email from the GUI using the Gmail SMTP settings I get a DNS resolution error?

When I try to cd to /etc/openproject I get “permission denied”
I have also noticed another path /opt/openproject/config

Question

When I open the configuration.yml file the syntax doesn’t match the output from of the "open project config: command?

Thanks in advance its greatly appreciated.

Matt
