Jopling Server 2.7.4 - Email Configuration

Support
1

Hi Everyone,

I recently spun up my Joplin server environment on my Synology NAS with Docker containers. However, I am in the process of configuring the email settings for my server but I am having some issues where I am not receiving any emails I sent from my Joplin server.

I am not sure how to start troubleshooting this issue; is there a command I can run to test sending SMTP messages from my server or are there any specific logs I could look at?

These are the current settings that I have added to my .env file:

  • MAILER_ENABLED=1
  • MAILER_HOST=smtp .sendgrid.net
  • MAILER_PORT=587
  • MAILER_SECURITY=tls
  • MAILER_AUTH_USER=apikey
  • MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD=(my password)
  • MAILER_NOREPLY_NAME=JoplinServer
  • MAILER_NOREPLY_EMAIL=(my email)

Since I am now using port 587 on the Joplin server, I exposed that port on the container itself by modify my run command:

  • docker run --name joplin01 --env-file .env -p 22300:22300 -p 587:587 --net=joplin --restart always -d joplin/server

Any ideas?

Thanks for all the help.

Here's my working settings:

MAILER_ENABLED=1
MAILER_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAILER_PORT=587
MAILER_SECURITY=starttls
MAILER_AUTH_USER=my_email_address
MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD=my_password
MAILER_NOREPLY_NAME=JoplinServer
MAILER_NOREPLY_EMAIL=my_email_address

This is all it takes, you don't need to expose port 587 as it's used for sending emails.

You can see the logs with this command: docker log container, and you can see the problem after sending a test mail from the server (on the web).

Thanks for the help ibenny. Changing "MAILER_SECURITY=tls" to "MAILER_SECURITY=starttls" resolved the issued.
