Zoho smtp(SSL) not sending email after installation

Hi there,

Using official installation method, however having an issue with mail not being received after installation.

On my vps I tested

echo Hello world > /tmp/mail.txt
curl -v  smtps://smtppro.zoho.com:465  \
  --mail-from $email \
  --mail-rcpt $(echo $email | cut -d ',' -f 1) \
  --user $email:"$pass" \
  --upload-file /tmp/mail.txt

I get email from my vps using curl approach, so my server is sending email.

Here’s my app.yml config

  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtppro.zoho.com
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: $username
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: $pass
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false           # (optional, default true)
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_SSL: true
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_DOMAIN: domain    # (required by some providers)

I even tested my credentials on smtp test tools and it worked.

Here is the log for discourse :

tail shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log
Job exception: end of file reached

start
  Rendered layouts/email_template.html.erb (Duration: 0.1ms | Allocations: 36)
Job exception: end of file reached

fail

Any hint?

Tia,

Okay after trying discourse-doctor multiple times found out password needs to be enclosed with “” and used 587 port and it worked. Zoho indeed works with discourse.
