[ckan-dev] Email Config: SMTPException(

[lucia.espona at wsl.ch]

Thanks Pierre and Hendrik,

I solved it shortly afterwards, I sent the mail to list but I should't have changed the subject :(

The SMTP server of WSL doesn't support authentication neither starttls (and it only works behind firewall).
It worked by deleting username and password parameters in the config file.

For the moment I leave it like this but someday for production I guess I will need an alternative, (@Pierre) your advice with mailutils looks very useful.

The mail on registration is something one will have to implement for what I see.

Best,
Lucia

                   Dear Lucia,
     I worked around the same issue. But in my situation I did not       want to have my password in conf file. It's the reason why I just       setup
     email_to             = email at mydomain.ch  
           
     
           
     As I have a dedicated workstation for CKAN I installed mailutils       and it works fine. May be it can be another option for you
     
                 
                                                                                         Install mailutils       #sudo apt-get install mailutils
       Keep all by default
       1.                 Make sure to select         “Internet site”
       2.                 Make sure to have hostname.wsl.ch,         on the next         window
       
       
     
     
     
     Nota bene: 
       It works fine, but I still can not get e-mail when there is an new       activities or when there is a new registration, but I think this       is another problem... :o). 
       I receive error system is well sent to email at mydomain.ch.       even if I have not configured :
     smtp.server             = 
         smtp.starttls = False
         smtp.user =     
         smtp.password = xxxxxxx     
         smtp.mail_from = 
           
      Cheers
       Pierre

Is this a CKAN configuration issue or is the STMP server of my institution not compatible? Any hints will be appreciated.
              
Hi Luca,

the SMTP server of your institution is not configured for user authentication.
Try to unset the smtp.server und smtp.user config variables. CKAN then tries to
send the mail without authentication. However, you'll might have to set
the starttls True. If it does not work ask your local mail admin for help.

regards
hendrik
