loomio smtp email config

ok , i have never used delayed jobs in rails . Now i executed the bundle exec rake jobs:work and after an hour of study and research i menaged to configure the email to use starttls and password encryption and self singed certificate.
i added those configuration to action_mailer config
:openssl_verify_mode => 'none',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:authentication => :cram_md5,

Yeah, I can totally relate. I was getting this weird error that Roadie couldn't find the email.css file. I finally got it to work with the following config stuff (I believe I turned off HTML mail):

  config.roadie.url_options = nil
  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {
    host: "10.10.10.10",
    port:3000 
  }
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    domain: "10.10.10.10",
    authentication: "password",
    enable_starttls_auto: true,
    user_name: ENV["SMTP_USERNAME"],
    address: ENV["SMTP_SERVER"],
    password: ENV["SMTP_PASSWORD"],
    port: ENV["SMTP_PORT"]
  }

@robertguthrie do you have any insight on this.

@jameskiesel I've just added you to this loomio group so you can see / comment as well

And by the way, you need to have sendmail installed.

Furthermore, I am at a bit of a loss as to why I need to run bundle exec rake jobs:work RAILS_ENV="production" in order to send mail invitations / messages.

because a lot/ all of the mailers on are on delayed_job, as i nthe mail is sent asynchronously by a worker which the rake task spins up

look in the mailers and you'll see something like
ThreadMailer.delay.new_discussion(user, event)
https://github.com/loomio/loomio/blob/bab6815f24d9dfdc65d74eaa4d907f429fc710ca/app/models/events/new_discussion.rb#L13 ( https://github.com/loomio/loomio/blob/bab6815f24d9dfdc65d74eaa4d907f429fc710ca/app/models/events/new_discussion.rb#L13 )

instead of
ThreadMailer.new_discussion(user, event).deliver

Actually, my problem was that because I am not on Heroku, the Procfile is not being called. I need to run that command seperately. Moving this issue to Github.

I'm fairly new to loomio, but if the delivery method is smtp, then I highly doubt that you need sendmail installed.

Also, if you do need 'sendmail' for something, be clear that the original sendmail software is an antiquity, but it defined what has become an interface standard, so pretty much any MTA software these days provides a /usr/bin/sendmail binary which supports the interface of the old sendmail software.

what would be the correct SMTP settings using gmail since I use this configuration in production.rb

config.active_support.deprecation = :notify
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: "example.com" }

# Send emails using SMTP service
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => ENV['smtp.gmail.com'],
:port => ENV['587'],
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['email@gmail.com'],
:password => ENV['password'],
:domain => ENV['gmail.com'],
:openssl_verify_mode => 'none'

}

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

but I get the following error
