Unable to send mail

[MaxiReglisse]

Hi Giorgio,

I couldn't find where to configure the SMTP server for the Omeka-S application in the Docker composition. So I'm not surprised that sending the message fails... This is particularly the case when creating a new user.

Laminas\Mail\Transport\Exception\RuntimeException
Unable to send mail: Unknown error
Details:
Laminas\Mail\Transport\Exception\RuntimeException: Unable to send mail: Unknown error in /var/www/html/vendor/laminas/laminas-mail/src/Transport/Sendmail.php:298

Thank you in advance for any help.

Ernest.

I assume that the error comes from the Omeks-S application and not from the virtual machine on which the Docker composition is running.

The proof is that the following message was delivered.

$ echo "ceci est un essai" | mail -s "essai from omekas-docker" ernest.chiarello@univ-fcomte.fr

I hope that you will be able to help me find the answer to this issue...

You can add smtp settings in the local.config.php file, in the relevant section:

    'mail' => [
        'transport' => [
            'type' => 'smtp',
            'options' => [
                'name' => 'mail.example.com',
                'host' => 'mail.example.com',
                'port' => 25, // 465 for 'ssl', and 587 for 'tls'
                'connection_class' => 'login', // 'plain', 'login', or 'crammd5'
                'connection_config' => [
                    'username' => 'user@example.com',
                    'password' => 'secretpassword',
                    'ssl' => null, // 'ssl' or 'tls'
                    'use_complete_quit' => true,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],

Thanks for the tip, it worked the first time, or almost. it didn't work with the host's Exim server, although it was listening on port 25. But it did work with my university's SMTP server.

'mail' => [
    'transport' => [
        'type' => 'smtp',
        'options' => [
            'name' => 'smtp.univ-fcomte.fr',
            'host' => '172.20.194.204',
            'port' => 25, // 465 for 'ssl', and 587 for 'tls'
            'connection_class' => 'smtp', // 'plain', 'login', or 'crammd5'
            'connection_config' => [
                'username' => null,
                'password' => null,
                'ssl' => null, // 'ssl' or 'tls'
                'use_complete_quit' => true,
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

sincerely,

Ernest.
