Problem: people can not register because verification emails are not delivered

I tried to set up SparkPost EU.

I added a domain, using strict alignment subdomain, which means mail.refugees.openHospitality.network as both sending and bounce domains

• TXT DNS record for mail.refugees.openHospitality.network
• CNAME DNS record for mail.refugees.openHospitality.network

Differences with TR:

• TR originally is registered with SparkPost in the US (I used EU, with appropriate endpoints in config).
• TR seems to use relaxed domain alignment, sending domain is @trustroots.org and bounce domain is @bounces.trustroots.org

After SparkPost docs, Domain Alignment options:

• Root Domain Strict Alignment - CNAME record on a root domain does not allow to have subdomains, eg. grafana.refugees.*
• Relaxed alignment - does not allow to DKIM-sign sended emails => possible deliverability issues

• Strict Alignment Subdomain - only possible option left: mail.refugees.openHospitality.network

In config/env/local.js I added:

  mailer: {
    from: 'openHospitality@mail.refugees.openHospitality.network',
    options: {
      host: 'smtp.eu.sparkpostmail.com',
      port: 587,
      secure: false,
      auth: {
        user: 'SMTP_Injection',
        pass: $SPARKPOST_API_KEY,
      },
    },
  },

When I run locally, in dev orprod env, whatever config I put in config/env/local.js, for example for mailer.from Agendash dashboard shows that the message was from trustroots@localhost. It looks like mailer was not set up with values from that config… any idea what my I be missing?

It works (locally) 🙂 🙃 🙂
