can't send emails

[Adam Poniatowski]

Hi everyone,

I cant send any emails with the local emailer. I keep getting this error:

filter:email.send, 139769591261248:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:769:

Any suggestions? I tried

Emailer via local SMTP and SSL/TLS

The local emailer plugins don't work out of the box with SSL/TLS. But it's possible, because those plugins share the same settings. This workaround worked with my installation. Hope it will help you too. Rem: If you've tried to setup the local emailer plu...

@Adam-Poniatowski I would recommend using an emailer plugin instead of local emailer. Try one of these. All of them provide free tiers.

nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailjet
nodebb-plugin-emailer-sendgrid
nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailgun

I think I found the problem. My IP has been blocked by their spam filters (microsoft). I had it delisted now and I will see where it goes.

I hope its that...

You will have this problem with all email providers if you use local emailer. They just assume it's spam.

nope... still the same issue

Do you have a proper SPF and DKIM configuration for your domain? It is becoming more difficult to effectively send email to major providers without those in place.

I tried the other emailer (nodebb-plugin-emailer-ssl-smtp) and that works... weird, as I had the local emailer working before, when I had it on my freebsd machine (now centos).

Thanks for trying, it is much appreciated
