gitea sending "null" password to stmp server

[dsdole]

Description

I have a selfhosted gitea instance which i have configured to use my selfhosted mailserver(postfix+dovecot+cyrus-sasl) for sending mail. My mailer config is below(I have the password in single quotes):

[mailer]
ENABLE = true
FROM = gitea@example.com
PROTOCOL = smtp+starttls
SMTP_ADDR = mail.example.com
SMTP_PORT = 587
USER = gitea
PASSWRD = 'gitea_password_here'

When sending a test email from the web gui, I get this error:

My mailserver's saslauthd service shows this error:

I am able to use the username and password to login to the mailserver manually with a desktop mail client. I can manually send and receive email as the gitea user.

I am not sure why gitea is sending a NULL password, I have tried using the follow pairs of characters to quote the password in app.ini: " ",' ', ` `.

I cannot reproduce this issue on the demo site as none of my systems are exposed to the internet.

What type of auth are you using:

Is it one of the following:

    if strings.Contains(options, "CRAM-MD5") {
        auth = smtp.CRAMMD5Auth(opts.User, opts.Passwd)
    } else if strings.Contains(options, "PLAIN") {
        auth = smtp.PlainAuth("", opts.User, opts.Passwd, host)
    } else if strings.Contains(options, "LOGIN") {
        // Patch for AUTH LOGIN
        auth = LoginAuth(opts.User, opts.Passwd)
    } else if strings.Contains(options, "NTLM") {
        auth = NtlmAuth(opts.User, opts.Passwd)
    }

I'm new here, but I'll try to help. Is it one of the above types if not that might be the issue.

I am using PLAIN authentication and the server is set to reject connections which don't use starttls. If I change the protocol and app.ini to "smtp" then the server refuses connection. "smtp+starttls" successfully contacts the server but the password isn't working.

I notice in the config its PASSWRD, I think it should be PASSWD not PASSWRD.

Try it...

Worked perfectly... been staring at my pc too long I think. Thanks.
