Mail notification problem (SSL?)

[Dzanin]

Good morning,
I have a problem about mail notification (I think that a user after registration will receive a mail).
So I tried to configure the env file in this way:

DELIVERY_METHOD=smtp
SMTP_ADDRESS=smtp.ti-edu.ch
SMTP_PORT=465
SMTP_USER_NAME=supsi\SmartHost_User
SMTP_PASSWORD=xxxxxxx
SMTP_AUTHENTICATION=plain
SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS_AUTO=true
SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE=
SMTP_SSL=true

because in my thunderbird client the mail work with these settings:
Server Name: smpt.ti-edu.ch
Port: 465
User Name: fablab@supsi.ch
Authentication method: Encrypted password
Connection security: SSL/TLS.

I read this : Action Mailer Basics — Ruby on Rails Guides from github documentation so I’m not sure about how I set SSL, and If smtp auth should be plain.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much in advice

Hi Dzanin,

I’m not sure what Authentication method: Encrypted password means for thunderbird but I’m pretty sure it’s not the equivalent of :plain. I think it may work with :login, but if it’s not, you can give a try with :cram_md5.

Have a nice day

I tried with login and also cram_md5 but nothing happens. Is it correct to set ssl with:
SMTP_SSL=true
?
Because the mail in my thunderbird client works and I reported here all the smtp settings.

SMTP_SSL is not a currently recognized configuration parameter so it will do nothing…

But it may be lacking, as I can see this a an option in active mailer settings. I’ll try to add it for the next release and keep you updated!

[Dzanin]

ok, so it means that at the moment there’s no possibility to use smtp with SSL? Is it correct?

Starting with release 4.2.0 available today, you’ll be able to use the SMTP_TLS environment variable to solve your problem
