Hi
I don't succeed to make pocketbase work with cloudron SMTP
I always end up with timeout errors

What am I missing

[Valexico]

Hmm it appears that when sending test email, pocketbase is showing timeout but after a while I do receive the test email in my inbox.
This slow response also make login very slow because pocketbase is trying to sen email alerts. I am not sure where can be the problem.

From pocketbase point of view, the email request gave timeout
From user point of view the login time is slow (~30 seconds maybe) -> workround : disable login alerts
But emails do get sent at the end ? At least test emails

Hello @valexico
Thanks for reporting this.
I am looking into it.

[james]

This behaviour is very odd.
Sometimes it sends, sometimes it does not, but always the send test email times out.
As if there is an internal event / cron handler that does not work correctly and only if you hit the perfect time frame to send a test mail it actually sends

Many times it fails the send test mail only to send the mail after the failed attempt anyway.
I observed this in the mail service logs and the debug log of pocketbase.

There must be something going in internally that is creating this issue.

Could it be hitting throttling limits?

Hello @robi

The Cloudron mail server was not throttling, I ensured that.

@james I was thinking fw not mail.

Next thing would be to see what the code does
