Catalogue.aodn and catalogue.imos not sending notification emails #181

Closed anguss00 closed 3 years ago

anguss00 commented 8 years ago

Notification emails fail to send on these two instances. This is a requirement to be fixed before bluenet.aodn.org.au can be removed.

I believe the issue is that firewall access on 12-nsp-mel and 1-aws-syd does not allow postoffice.utas.edu.au (131.217.9.77) access on port 25. This is why unmanaged instances can send emails but not the managed catalogues.

@kereid do you know by any chance if feedback emails have ever been sent from catalogue.aodn.org.au? Just wondering if this is a new issue or something that has been lurking for a while...

Please note that for sending emails from AWS, you'll have to go via a SMTP provider. Cannot do YOLO style emails any more like we used to from uni machines.

anguss00 commented 8 years ago

Indeed. I was keen to get your advice on this one @danfruehauf. Unfortunately GN 2.10 does not allow SMTP auth (which was added in 3), so I'm not sure how to utilise a SMTP provider here, unless we do GN dev work to get that functionality in.

We really don't want to do that...

anguss00 commented 8 years ago

Yup, it would be ugly to say the least. However, we have to come up with some way of restoring that email functionality

Pretty sure most SMTP providers don't allow unauthenticated email sending... GN 2.10 is in the dark ages here

If something was initially done in a broken way, it does not mean we must preserve the broken-ness of it.

Nowadays yes.
