Verification email issues and broken Logo in emails

[maroonbee]

Hello

I recently installed Nodebb and am still configuring the forum

I came across two issues

1. The logo in the email is broken. I tried turning on and off the setting to 'Remove images from email notifications' and it still is showing broken image. How can I fix this?

2. The link to confirm the email address is not going to the domain. Instead it is linking to this http://127.0.0.1:4567/confirm/760afbc5-3704-45f2-89dd-19fe6eb33ab9

Would really appreciate your help

Thanks

Did you set your url value in config.json to the address you are accessing the forum?

@baris thank you, It worked after I restarted nodebb

any idea on how to solve the broken logo issue?

@maroonbee What is the URL of the logo in the email?

@julian this is the URL that's showing the broken logo

@maroonbee does that occur in the same email as the fixed confirmation link?

[maroonbee]

@pitaj it occurs in all emails sent from my forum.

I tested some templates here domain.com/admin/settings/email

all of them give the same error

This seemed, at first blush, to be the fix. Alas... not. Unless.....

My second thoughts, as I was unclear whether the both text and image links were so afflicted.

Good question. Now that we've been enlightened....

A couple more thoughts:

1. OP reports having done a "restart". Maybe try a "rebuild & restart"? Hmm.... I wonder...

2. How are you sending mail? Perchance are you using Postfix? If so, please drive this command:

[root@forums ~]# postconf | grep ^myhostname

• Does the value for myhostname equal the value set for your forums?
• If not, maybe try setting it thusly?

Shooting from the hip here... but better than a sharp stick in the eye and you've not much to loose by checking.

@gotwf I tried rebuild and restart, then sent myself a test email, but it didn't seem to work

as for sending email, I am using my email host SMTP configuration. I tried SendPulse, but that didn't work too

@maroonbee perhaps some of the ideas/concepts here may bear fruit:

NodeBB Email - Postfix Null Client

emphasis on perhaps.

have fun! o/
