Can't send email

This error can appear when trying to send email from Email section or when user registers:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.
  • Try to use Gmail account to check if problem is caused by smtp provider. Example of Gmail account configuration can be found below, on Default settings.
  • Check GUI log


Default settings

  • SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
  • Port: 25
  • Login: kolmitest
  • Password: kolmitest99
  • Batch Size: 50

Test

/usr/local/mor/sendEmail -f 'mortest@gmail.com' -t 'WRITE_YOUR@EMAIL.HERE' -u 'test' -m 'test message' -o tls=auto -s 'smtp.gmail.com' -xu 'kolmitest' -xp 'kolmitest99'

Output should be:

sendEmail[11683]: Email was sent successfully!

Errors

Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (535 auth failure)

Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (535 invalid user ID or password)

On both of these errors:

  1. Check your SMTP server details
  2. Try to use another SMTP server
  3. Try default settings:
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com 
Domain: localhost.localdomain
Login: kolmitest
Password: kolmitest99

NameError (undefined local variable or method `xxxxxx' for #)

Do not add variables which are not from this list:

  • <%= server_ip %>
  • <%= device_type %>
  • <%= device_username %>
  • <%= device_password %>
  • <%= login_url %>
  • <%= login_username %>
  • <%= login_password %>
  • <%= username %>
  • <%= first_name %>
  • <%= last_name %>
  • <%= full_name %>


Timeout::Error (execution expired) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `open'

Open port 25 to allow SMTP connection.



Segfoults and any other crashes

These mean that mail traffic is passing a transparent proxy server which doesn't understand the 'auth plain' option. Ask your network administrator for more info.

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (unknown protocol)

No solution yet...

I had this same problem and it turned out that I was using the wrong imap port, as for SSL authentication you need to use port 993 or 995.

ECONNREFUSED


SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known)

Execute (on Debian):

apt-get install mime-construct
mime-construct --to "your@mail.com" --subject 'hi there' --string "body"

Go to /var/log/exim4/mainlog

If you see:
