I have configured in my app.yml the mail to be something like
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: mail.mysecrect.tld
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: minegenix@mysecret.tld
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: <secret>
I have configured in my app.yml the mail to be something like
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: mail.mysecrect.tld
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: minegenix@mysecret.tld
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: <secret>
Also found this on logs:
fail
Delivered mail 3ff63fed-4142-4042-ab33-29493b32b3a6@beta2.mysecret.tld (30001.9ms)
Job exception: execution expired
you might need to add this to your app.yml
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false
Okay, btw i use mailcow!
Is the server running discourse beta2.mysecret.tld - and not mysecret.tld?
Give these options a try:
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: 172.17.0.1 # use internal ip here - mail-server domain might not get resolved correctly
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: "YOUR-SMTP-USER-NAME"
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "YOUR-SMTP-PASSWORD"
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none
DISCOURSE_SMTP_DOMAIN: mysecret.tld
mysecret.tld is just placeholder hiding my real domain as i don’t want to reveal my forum address
Are you sending mails with sender email like “…@ beta2. mysecret.tld” - but your mailcow account is for “…@mysecret.tld”?
no im sending emails from …@ mysecret.tld and the site is running at beta2.mysecret.tld
yeah im currently doing that
btw do i need to bootstrap everytime after rebuild?
Okay i added the settings, didn’t help.
./launcher enter app
getent hosts
:(dig
, nslookup
, ping
etc. are not installed inside the container.)
getent hosts your.smtp.server
Result on success:
# IPv4
123.123.123.123 your.smtp.server
# IPv6
2001:db8:0:0:0:ff00:42:8329 your.smtp.server
openssl
:(telnet
, nc
etc. are not installed inside the container.)
Fiddle with some different settings until you succeed with a connection.
openssl s_client -connect your.smtp.server:465
openssl s_client -connect your.smtp.server:587 -starttls smtp
# IPv4
openssl s_client -connect 172.17.0.123:465
openssl s_client -connect 172.17.0.123:587 -starttls smtp
# IPv6
openssl s_client -6 -connect "[2001:db8:0:0:0:ff00:42:8329]:465"
openssl s_client -6 -connect "[2001:db8:0:0:0:ff00:42:8329]:587" -starttls smtp

( ifconfig
, ip
etc. are not installed inside the container.)
hostname -I
Result like:
172.17.0.2
I can’t get connection with openssl, also i only get this: from the getent
2606:4700:3032::ac43:d2f1 mail.secret.tdl
2606:4700:3033::6815:4db8 mail.secret.tld
(secret.tld replacing my actual domain)
A shot in the dark: Is this a public IP? Is your mailcow configured to listen for smtp-connections on this public IP or only on an internal network?
Inside the Discourse container you can get your containers IP via:
hostname -I
Is your mailcow also on the same internal (docker-)network?
172.17.0.2 is the thing i get from hostname -I
Can you get into your mailcow container and also get hostname -I
? Are Mailcow and Discourse two seperate docker-containers on the same host?
how do i get into the mailcow container? there isn’t launcher script.
I don’t know about mailcow either. Maybe better check back with the mailcow community: https://community.mailcow.email/
What should i use to get mail systems, or what software can I setup on ubuntu that would work as mail service on my forums?
