SOLVED - Mail Setup - SSL SMTP Ubuntu

Added by Samuele Facco over 10 years ago

Hi all,
I just installed OpenProject on a new Ubuntu server. Everything seems to work fine, but I cannot send email: I have to configure SSL on SMTP but I cannot find anything in documentation. Could you please tell me where can I find a list of options to use and how to set them?

Thanks for your help,
Sam

I also tried creating a gmail test mailbox, because i found more documentation about it, and this is mine

and now I got this error:

An error occurred while sending mail (534-5.7.14 <https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbsTA )

Have you got some suggestion for me? :-)

PS: I already unlocked “unsafe” application in gmail security

RE: Mail Setup - SSL SMTP Ubuntu - Added by Samuele Facco over 10 years ago

If I change port to 465 I got this error in firefox ….

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /admin/test_email.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at xx.xxx.xx.xxx Port 80

Running out of ideas…

RE: Mail Setup - SSL SMTP Ubuntu - Added by Karsten Gallinowski over 10 years ago

Hi,

I think you should try changing the authentication mode to login.

this — SMTP_AUTHENTICATION=PLAIN
to SMTP_AUTHENTICATION=login

You can do it be using this commad:

openproject config:set SMTP_AUTHENTICATION=login

And do not forget to restart the app server by:

service openproject restart

Hopefully that fixes your problem.

Cheers
Karsten

RE: Mail Setup - SSL SMTP Ubuntu - Added by Samuele Facco over 10 years ago

Thankfully I found the solution yesterday … I simply had to use low-case characters for values in environment variables, so ‘plain’ instead of PLAIN … damn case-sensitive-os :-)

Thanks anyway for the support.

Sam
