Does it work with gmail?

[Jenkler]

• I dont have any emailer plugin installed but nodebb states " Emailer Installed" ?

• Why kan i only dowload from "https://github.com/mario56/nodebb-plugin-emailer-local-0.7" in the <-- Is this the NodeBB main repository?

• Can someone confirm a working setup with gmail smtp service?

[meetdilip]

Don't we have one for Mandrill ?

@meetdilip

Yes, but how @Jenkler said:

Yeah I know, but it would be better with at working plugin where settings for ssl and google smtp works.

I agree that.

What output give you ls node_modules | grep emailer?

If you get some thing like nodebb-plugin-emailer-local-0.7, you can use npm uninstall nodebb-plugin-emailer-local-0.7 to uninstall them.

To remove the mailer-prefs you have to go into the redis shell. redis-cli
Find the settings KEYS *mailer*. Example result: 1) "settings:emailer-local" and remove it DEL settings:emailer-local. And exit.

Finaly restart nodebb.

I thought exactly the same.

But this mario56 plugin it seems to work with SSL! (v0.7.0)

Gmail's mail server can't be used , because of something (can't remember what that was)

Google SMTP was working in v0.6. However, it doesn't work in v0.7 or I am doing something wrong.

[Xiph]

Just a friendly reminder about using Google's SMTP:
You can only send email to a maximum of:

• 500 recipients a day (for Gmail)
• 130 times the number of user licences in your account per day
  9 times the number of user licences in your account per 10 minutes (for Google Apps)

500 recipients a day

Yes, but at the moment I don't have more than 500 a day! It would be nice if someone could patch this

@Jenkler How to do like this?.
Without email approve user should not able to do anything

[julian]

Wow, this is an old topic.

Integration with a locally installed emailer (e.g. sendmail or postfix) is available OOTB from the settings -> email panel.
