@kurulumu-Net

did you do the same with the active options in the picture

kurulumu.Net

@phenomlab Having trouble sending mail? does not send test mail.

kurulumu.Net

@fffddd-dfeeedd Yeah. Tapping the emoji icon in the text editor opens the emoji box but there are no emojis

@kurulumu-Net i am using 1.19.2 and it worked for me sorry

phenomlab

@fffddd-dfeeedd Yes, it works for me also (in the sense of the emojis appearing in the applet) but it still fails with ASCII conversions.

PitaJ

Have you tried rebuilding emoji assets in the emoji ACP page?

phenomlab

@PitaJ Yes - see my comment above. This works for the emoji applet, but not for ASCII

I have the same problem but rebuild assets seems good for me :

Am I the only one not sending account confirmation mail to users in 1.19.2?

phenomlab

@kurulumu-Net no. I'm also sending a variety of emails to users with no issues and am running 1.19.2

@phenomlab After upgrading to 1.19.2, I see the following in the logs. I wonder why?
The SMTP information is correct.

In 1.19.1, I was sending mail (via Mailgun) with 465 ports and encryption. It was working. In 1.19.2 this did not work. Now I can send mail via port 587 and StarTLS. But I don't understand why it doesn't work on port 465.

phenomlab

@kurulumu-Net can you access the port itself via a telnet command such astelnet server.com 465 ?

kurulumu.Net

@phenomlab I host multiple sites on the same server. Other sites have no issues with using SMTP on port 465. I recently migrated from NodeJS 14 to 16. I think it's caused by this. Is there any extra action required by NodeBB after NodeJS upgrade?

phenomlab

@kurulumu-Net I'm pretty sure that nodeJS version 16 isn't supported by NodeBB. You may have to downgrade this to resolve the smtp issues.

kurulumu.Net

@phenomlab https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu/
Taking this into account, I installed nodeJS v16 after switching servers

phenomlab

@kurulumu-Net hmm. That certainly would indicate that 16.x is supported. I was told by @baris some time ago that this wasn't in fact supported, but that could have changed since our last discussion - or, the documentation is incorrect.
