Gitea: Gmail does not work with Gitea

[jayjupdhig]

Do i need to set a special setting? (SSL, TLS, whtever..) ?

What is the default for mail servers?

That does not work:

ENABLED = true
HOST    = smtp.gmail.com
FROM    = [email protected]
USER    = [email protected]
PASSWD  = ......

Why? Thank you for your feedbacks.

Thank you very much!

I know that, but what i need to configure here?

ENABLED = true
HOST    = smtp.gmail.com
FROM    = [email protected]
USER    = [email protected]
PASSWD  = ......

if the default setting for gitea mailing unencrypted, so i need to add some parameters? (What are the default connection options?)

Have a look https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/ at Section Mailer

thx

[jayjupdhig]

smtp.gmail.com:587 does not work, as described here: https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/4310

Then i will look on that manual..

[jayjupdhig]

Maybe i need to restart gitea service first before the new config will be applied...(?)

[jayjupdhig]

How can i use SSL instead if TLS with Google Mail Server smtp.gmail.com:465 ?

Can't see any options to switch to SSL here: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/

Now it works, thx, i added a few paramters then i restarted the gitea service:

ENABLED        = true
HOST           = smtp.gmail.com:587
FROM           = [email protected]
USER           = [email protected]
PASSWD         = ......

MAILER_TYPE    = smtp

IS_TLS_ENABLED = true

Have a nice day, thx again!! :-)

Perhaps it would be interesting to add this to the docs as a sample GMail configuration?

[jayjupdhig]

Why not, i think GMail server will used a lot...

But i'm not 100% sure the "MAILER_TYPE" parameter is required or not. Maybe it's not. (?)

"IS_TLS_ENABLED" seems to be required, it was not working without it..

I was not able to use TLS with gmail.. it would fail every time.

However, using port 465 worked for me without TLS..

[mailer]
ENABLED = true
HOST    = smtp.gmail.com:465
FROM    = *********[email protected]
USER    = **********[email protected]
PASSWD  = **************
MAILER_TYPE    = smtp
IS_TLS_ENABLED = false

Hello I'm having trouble with my gmail config:

I get this when testing the config
Failed to send a testing email to '[email protected]': gomail: could not send email 1: NewClient: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake

My config:

[mailer]
ENABLED        = true
FROM           = [email protected]
MAILER_TYPE    = smtp
HOST           = smtp.gmail.com:587
IS_TLS_ENABLED = true
USER           = [email protected]
PASSWD         = `...`
USE_SENDMAIL   = false

@riccardodivirgilio as @LostSoulfly above said, confirming it works without IS_TLS_ENABLED=true

[mailer]
ENABLED        = true
HOST           = smtp.gmail.com:587
FROM           = [email protected]
USER           = [email protected]
PASSWD         = ***
MAILER_TYPE    = smtp
IS_TLS_ENABLED = false
HELO_HOSTNAME  = example.com
