Need to configure mailer #131

Closed eykamp closed 10 years ago

eykamp commented 10 years ago

In order to support our account management, we need to be able to send emails from the iguess server. This will require configuration of an email sending system (sendmail? smtp?) as well as configuring rails to use it (see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html). Relevant settings will need to be set in config/environments/development.rb and config/environments/production.rb. Testing can be done by trying to reset your password while you are not logged in.

I do not have the knowledge of how to configure a mailer, which will probably require some input from Sebastian, and I don't have the time to figure it out.

This needs to be done before the logins can be fully tested.

There is already an SMTP server running in the network: arthur.tudor.lu (port 25). I was able to send a message to my personal account through it using the packages mailx and msmtp. I have now asked the IT for a new e-mail account: "iguess@tudor.lu".

Chris: meanwhile you can try setting up Rails using this same server and your own user account. If that works we can close this issue.

Previously, I meant your own e-mail account, not "your own user account".

I'm not sure I want my personal password (which is the keys to my entire Tudor kingdom, after all) in a cleartext file somewhere. I think we should wait until we get an official account.

Tested successfully the command line mailer with the new iGUESS e-mail account through the Tudor SMTP.
