Hi @psychobunny,
would you add an option to enable SSL encryption?
Some SMTP server only support SSL connection.
Many thanks!

Please, please, please do this. I want to use a gmail account to send notices and that requires an SSL connection (or results in massive false-positive spam bin assignments). My only option right now appears to be to install a proxy to translate the request to SSL (e.g., stunnel).

This is definitely at the top of the list of my desirables for NodeBB!

For everyone want to send gmail mail. Just add

secureConnection: true,

in index.js
so it will be looked like this:

var transportOptions = {
secureConnection: true,
host: Meta.config['emailer:local:host'],
port: Meta.config['emailer:local:port']
};

@Technowix it's work?

Hưng Thành Nguyễn

@Technowix oh, okay. I sent an email with secure smtp server successful

Dear devs, could someone make a PR for NodeBB 0.6.0 compatibility? Thanks

<baris>

I sent PRs to this repo for 0.6.x compatibility.

Ted

Thanks @baris

I was wondering if we could get this plugin updated for .8.x?

I keep getting this error after configuring this plugin with the latest nodebb: (i am tetsing from the email settings page)

ERRROR CONNECT EACCES.

Anyone know why?

Thanks

@whitts

Are you on version 0.9.0? If so I believe this functionality is built in and no plugin necessary.

whitts

Hi, Yes i am on 0.9.0.. First time using this nodeBB

I didnt see the option anywhere though for using SMTP without the plugin. I think i got the plugin in working though - i had to restart my nodedb instance after saving the SMTP settings.

I would love to use the inbuilt one though if it exists?

Thanks

Based on the post, it appears that it is just built in. So it doesn't sound like it actually gives you the ability to setup your own stmp settings. If that is unneeded, then you should be able to just put the email you want it to send from, and it will send. If you do need that, you will likely still have to get this plugin working.

Thanks for the link.. I guess it is blocked on my work network then. This plugin is working fine for me now since i restarted nodebb (using gmail) so I will just have to get my IT to allow access to my companies SMTP. Thanks again

Built in, but very basic. I may add support to use Gmail (or similar) transport, but if you need more advanced local email, use the plugin

whitts

Got the plugin working with my companies SMTP.. I had the wrong server address lol

Ok so local mailer is now build-in. But I was using postfix. The following command is working fine:
mail -s "Hello world" [email protected]
This will send me an e-mail.I configured gmail SMTP setting in postfix. I'm 100% sure that is working.

Using NodeBB I can't send messages. I also can't find any settings page for mail configurations in NodeBB. I don't see any errors as far I can see in ./nodebb log. So what should I do? Why is it not working?

I already configured postfix, should I also configure nodemailer some how :s ?
