Sending mail does not work in most situations (Docker container)

Added by Manuel Bernhardt over 4 years ago

Today I setup a openproject installation with docker. I pulled the code as documented and changed the default version from 10 to 11 (by the way: docker-compose.yml contains still a old version number). So far, so good.

The container are running behind a apache reverse proxy. The configuration:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ProxyRequests Off
        ServerName my.domain.de
        ProxyPreserveHost On

        RewriteEngine on

        <Proxy *>
                AddDefaultCharset off
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>

        ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/ retry=0
        ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

        ErrorLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my.domain.de/%Y/%m/%d/error.log --symlink=${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my.domain.de/error.log"
        CustomLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my.domain.de/%Y/%m/%d/access.log --symlink=${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my.domain.de/access.log" combined

        RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
        RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443"

        SSLEngine On
        SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
        SSLHonorCipherOrder on

        # Prefer PFS, allow TLS, avoid SSL, for IE8 on XP still allow 3DES
        SSLCipherSuite "EECDH+ECDSA+AESGCM EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM EECDH+ECDSA+SHA384 EECDH+ECDSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+SHA384 EECDH+aRSA+SHA256 EECDH+AESGCM EECDH EDH+AESGCM EDH+aRSA HIGH !MEDIUM !LOW !aNULL !eNULL !LOW !RC4 !MD5 !EXP !PSK !SRP !DSS"

        # Prevent CRIME/BREACH compression attacks
        SSLCompression Off

        # Commit to HTTPS only traffic for at least 180 days
        #Header add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15552000"

        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/my.domain.de/my.domain.de.crt.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/my.domain.de/my.domain.de.key.pem
        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/my.domain.de/my.domain.de.ca.pem

</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

So far, first impression is, that most is working. But I found currently one point, it isn't working:

I configured a internal open smtp server for sending mails. So far everything is working fine, when I trigger the test mail function. I receive a mail. But when I create a new user, trigger the send invitation link function, nothing is done. I look into logs of the mail server but see not any connection try.

So, what is wrong here? Configuration test is working but not everything else.

Have you checked if the background job (cron job) is activated and configured correctly? https://docs.openproject.org/installation-and-operations/installation/manual/#activate-background-jobs

RE: Sending mail does not work in most situations (Docker container) - Added by Arthur He about 4 years ago

I encounter same issue on OpenProject 11.2.2: sending mail doesn't work except test mail.

Have you fixed it ?

RE: RE: Sending mail does not work in most situations (Docker container) - Added by Max Mutzge about 4 years ago

Hi Arthur,

did you upgrade to 11.2.2 or is this a fresh installation? Did emails work before?

Please have a look at this FAQ, too.
