Having issues with Migadu emails

Installation

Okay, looks to be sorted now. With Migadu you have to have a matching from header in the email along with authentication. Adding the authentication script above plus going to the Admin settings and setting the from address for all system emails seems to have fixed the problem.

If anyone else has this problem, you have to do the following:

  • Go to your discourse folder: cd /var/discourse
  • Add the authentication method to containers/app.yml: DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login
  • Manually create the admin account in the terminal as you can’t receive the verification email. To do this, you need to do the following: ./launcher enter app followed by rake admin:create then follow the steps presented in the terminal
  • Finally go to the Admin settings and change the notification email to the email address you’re trying to authenticate against

It would be easier if in the app.yml file you could set your from address, however, I couldn’t find a way to do that.
