GMail Configuration

Added by Christian Wetzel about 11 years ago

Hello,

I installed OP3.0 on CentOS 6.5 as in the tutorial, except using a MySQL-Server. It seems everything works fine, except Email notifications.

My configuration.yml is as following

production:
  email_delivery_method: smtp
  smtp_enable_starttls_auto: true
  smtp_authentication: plain
  smtp_address: smtp.gmail.com
  smtp_port: 587
  smtp_domain: smtp.gmail.com
  smtp_user_name: MYMAIL@gmail.com
  smtp_password: MYPASSWORD

The Test-Mail in the Administration Panel returns a “An error occurred while sending mail (execution expired)”-Message but has no meaningful log entry:

Started GET "/admin/test_email" for [MYSERVERNAME] at 2014-03-11 15:33:10 +0100

Updating an User account with checked send new password gives an internal Server Error:

Has anybody an idea or at least a tip how to get more detailed log-files?

Here’s my configuration but we’re on google apps. It should work for gmail too.

default:
  # Outgoing emails configuration (see examples above)
  email_delivery_method: "smtp"
  smtp_enable_starttls_auto: true
  smtp_address: "smtp.gmail.com"
  smtp_port: 587
  smtp_domain: "mydomain.com" 
  smtp_authentication: :plain
  smtp_user_name: "noreply@mydomain.com"
  smtp_password: "mypassword"

RE: GMail Configuration - Added by Christian Wetzel about 11 years ago

As far as I can see are in my configuration only the order of statements, the quotations and colon different. That should not make any difference, but I will try it.

I found the config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors variable in the production.rb - but it also does not change the log for my problem.

RE: GMail Configuration - Added by jason southwell about 11 years ago

I think your smtp_domain is incorrect too.

RE: GMail Configuration - Added by Christian Wetzel about 11 years ago

The domain without smtp. does not solve the problem. Can anybody confirm that ist works with an normal gmail account?

RE: GMail Configuration - Added by Christian Wetzel about 11 years ago

The configuration is correct as it is. The problem was the infrastructure configuration that blocked mails to gmail.com. With another SMTP server everything works. Thank you for your help.

RE: GMail Configuration - Added by Christian Wetzel about 11 years ago

Is your server configured to communicate to gmail.com? Are there any error messages in the UI or in the log-file?

Can you test the connection via telnet smtp.gmail.com 587, please?

RE: RE: GMail Configuration - Added by Jovanny Vasquez Ortiz over 8 years ago

I just installed my server open the project and would like to know how to change the time with which it sends the notifications by email as it sends mail every 5 minutes and I need them to be sent every minute.

I would greatly appreciate your help.

Greetings Jovanny
