Sample of working email configuration about huginn HOT 20 CLOSED

What have you tried so far?

What's shown in the .env.example file works for me.

Some providers may have authentication of "login" instead of "plain".

from huginn.

My .env is here: https://gist.github.com/Fluffums/7675427

It's set up for Gmail. I'd love to just get Gmail working.

One thing I noticed when posting my .env is that it has "" instead of my SQL root password.

Here is what I believe is the relevant section:
SMTP_DOMAIN=gmail.com
SMTP_USER_NAME=[email protected]
SMTP_PASSWORD=abc123
SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_AUTHENTICATION=plain
SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS_AUTO=true

from huginn.

Hm. That looks right to me.

Can you see what's in the log when it tries to send emails? Do other things work?

from huginn.

Is there some additional log somewhere? The log via the UI in the browser says it's sending me email all the time.

from huginn.

Yes, take a look at the Rails log, either as it prints in the console or
via the files log/development.log and log/delayed_job.log

Were you able to get this figured out, @Fluffums?

from huginn.

No. :-( Here's an excerpt from my development.log: https://gist.github.com/Fluffums/7897748

I'm going to get mailsend on the Huginn host computer to make sure it can talk to the Gmail SMTP server.

Looks like this might be a relatively special situation. Mailsend responds with an error about my username/password combo: "535 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted." Incredibly weird, because the exact same parameters work just fine from my Windows box, but are failing on my Linux box that hosts Huginn.

So, I've now tried using a different Gmail account as the sender with Mailsend, and it works from the Linux box.

from huginn.

Whoops. That wasn't the end of the story. I changed the .env for Huginn to use the Gmail account that works from the Linux box. No good. :-(

Hey @Fluffums, were you able to figure this out?

from huginn.

Incidentally since I probably spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to get email working .... it might be worth nothing somewhere prominent that it is turned off by default in "development" mode (d'oh!) and silently doesn't send emails... based on his log, I assume this was the OP's issue?

from huginn.

Argh! Seriously? @Alex-Ikanow, how do you turn it on? What completely obvious thing have I been missing this whole time? @cantino, I was going to give it one more shot before responding to you, but no, I didn't figure this out.

1] Edit "config/environments/development.rb"

2] Change "config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false # Enable when testing!" to true

3] Try to avoid throwing anything through a window :)

from huginn.

Okay, maybe we should change that default. FWIW, it is in the Readme as of fairly recently.

from huginn.

I don't know that you need to change the default. For someone approaching this in the same way I did, what would be most helpful would be an additional line in the .env.example file in the email configuration section, reading something like this:

# In order to enable email sending, you must also change config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries to true in the config/environments/development.rb file.

It's working for me now. So far, I haven't thrown anything through a window.

from huginn.

I will make that change now, thanks!

from huginn.

I am unable to get emails in localhost, I added email address as receipnts in morningdigest agent, and I run the scheduler by following command in new terminal

bundle exec rails runner bin/schedule.rb

Thanks

from huginn.

Did you change config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries to true in the config/environments/development.rb?

from huginn.
