What issue do you have?

Hello all,

After a long time of using Joplin I now just deployed my own Joplin server as a docker service on my openmediavault server.
Now I would like to set up my email notifications. Looking for instructions and hints I found several threads here but unfortunately it won't work as desired.
Maybe someone can help me finding out what am I doing wrong:
My environment variables:

        - MAILER_ENABLED=1
        - MAILER_HOST=mail.domain.de
        - MAILER_PORT=465
        - MAILER_SECURITY="SSL/TLS"
        - MAILER_AUTH_USER=email@email.de
        - MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD=strongpassword
        - MAILER_NOREPLY_NAME=JoplinServer
        - MAILER_NOREPLY_EMAIL=email@email.de

My mail service stresses out not to use STARTTLS.

Thanks in advance

@fahrer17 welcome to the forum.

According to this post MAILER_SECURITY and can have the value "tls", "starttls" or "none"

Thank you for your reply @dpoulton

I changed my settings following your advice but it still doesn't work though logs show no error regarding emai address.
The email address itself does work, I tested it via webmail mask.

As soon as possible I'm going to test a Gmail address as described here in the forum.

Have a sunny weekend everybody :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

For your password, are you using your gmail password or did you create an 'app' password?

No, no Gmail yet. I have a webhosting with email service I wanted to use but I'm going to try Gmail with app password in a next attempt.

I changed my configuration to Gmail and what should I say: I get the confirmation mail, even the ones that were send before using my other email account.
So I'm pretty sure the problem is on this side.
I'm going to contact my provider, maybe they know more.
