I am unsure whether port 25 or 587 should used in .env

Thank a lot for that PR !! :smiley:

[themancalledjakob]

my pleasure! :) i am very excited by yunohost, and super happy for anything i can contribute

damn, somehow i cannot figure out any working smtp settings. it looks as if the mailserver always attempts a TLS connection, nevermind the MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null setting in .env, and I cannot figure out how to set up TLS properly.

the sendmail solution does work though. is there any reason why smtp should be preferred?

[lapineige]

I don't know. We should ask Yunohost devs

I have a hunch, that we should just use sendmail. If you run $ man sendmail, it will tell you that it's not ancient sendmail, but actually postfix. It's sending emails with these settings /etc/postfix/main.cf. Looking in these settings, it appears that they are neatly tied to yunohost setup, even including ldap user accounts and TLS.

and also: it just works :)

Then that's perfect, let's go for it ? :)

[themancalledjakob]

yep, i prepared a branch with sendmail and will quickly do a fresh install on my yunohost to verify that it indeed works out of the box

[themancalledjakob]

alright, here it is: #230

It's a bit confusing, but cool, having another PR (instead of changing it here) is cool too. Archiving this then.

[themancalledjakob]

aha, learned something. Next time, I'll rather edit commits of an existing PR :)

[lapineige]

Well it reduces the commit history when it's another PR, but it also split the discussion in 2 places, so in that case (a minor change) I would rather keep it in the same PR :)
