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.
