Apologies if I have missed it being stated somewhere, but how is Joplin server provided with the SMTP host / port / credentials in order to get the reset emails working?

Thanks again. I used the settings: MAILER_ENABLED=1 MAILER_HOST=smtp.example.com MAILER_PORT=465 MAILER_SECURE=1 MAILER_AUTH_USER=mail@example.com MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD=password MAILER_NOREPLY_NAME=JoplinServer MAILER_NOREPLY_EMAIL=noreply@example.com in a separate env file with all the other Jopl…

It would be done using the MAILER_ variables as listed here: joplin/config.ts at 67a000add903fc9d0329dc5388564e28f463898a · laurent22/joplin · GitHub If everything is setup correctly, the EmailService should print a message in the log about it when you start the server.

OK, got a bit happy a bit too soon. Are these values to go in the compose file environment: settings and in a format like this? - MAILER_ENABLED=1 - MAILER_HOST=smtp.example.com - MAILER_PORT=465 - MAILER_SECURE=true - MAILER_AUTH_USER=mail@example.com - MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD=password - MAILER_NORE…

The values look about right, except that there's no true/false - it's always either 0 or 1. I don't know if the way you load them is right. It might be, but I prefer to use a simple .env file with a docker-compose like this: version: '3' services: server: image: joplin/server:2.2.6-beta p…

@laurent Related issue further to the above. I have two Joplin servers (2.2.6-beta) set up on different machines (x86-64 "official" and ARM64 "unofficial"). Email is set up on both servers. However what I have noticed is that pressing the "Send reset email" button in the admin panel does not send …

Indeed there's a bug here. The email service is set to process the email queue on certain events, but somehow it's only listening to the "user created" event and nothing else (and it also runs when the server starts). I don't remember why I've implemented it that way but it doesn't make much sense …

[image] dpoulton: MAILER_SECURE Out of interest is this documented? I see only examples but no clarification. My SMPT server supports None, STARTTLS and SSL/TLS are these 0, 1 and 2 respectively.

OK, bit stuck. I tried 1, and when to the Joplin Server admin User list, selected a user and clicked the "send account confirmation email" button. But see no email. So I changed it to 2, and restarted but that reports only 0 and 1 are legal. The server expects SSL/TLS. Joplin reports (on its log): …

OK I checked the database email table, and the emails are all in there. It has an error column that reveals the cause. Good to know! The web interface doesn't report that error (because it's async I guess but oddly enough the error does not appear in the log either - as shown above)

[image] bernd-wechner: Out of interest is this documented? Not that I am aware of. I used trial and error and the link @laurent provided above . During my tests the only other thing I did was map the mailer port within the docker container to the same port on the host. ports: - "22…
