Help with email encryption #19

Closed phamminhtris closed 5 years ago

phamminhtris commented 5 years ago

Hi, sorry if this question is too trivial. I am trying to connect my indico instance to a gmail account (we don't host an email server). However, even if I set

SMTP_USE_TLS=True

The connection to email server still seem to be served over http (gmail complains and does not allow Indico to connect to the service). Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Gmail is not really suitable for this usecase (unless, maybe, you use google apps or whatever the enterprise version is called).

Also, Indico uses SMTP to connect to an email server - there is absolutely no HTTP involved. If you enable SMTP_USE_TLS, then STARTTLS will be used to switch to an encrypted connection.

PS: Not sure how this is related to indico-containers. Questions about configuring indico should be asked in our forum instead: https://talk.getindico.io/
