@andreasdueren I wish it's a time/focus issue. He's worried about licensing/ownership of the app. Any way, the composer method is the same method as the guide above? It's been a while and I forgot what method I was using.

[andreasdueren]

Yes i'ts what you've been working on. I think I followed some of the instructions somewhere here for the lite version but applied it to the enterprise one

So, out of curioisty.

To get the app working in the lamp app- is that the previously written up guide?

[andreasdueren]

Yes should work no problem

I'm giving Mixpost another go. Fresh install. All is working except for the mail. What SMTP settings are you guys using in the .env file?

I tried a bunch of settings and currently have these, but nothing works:

# SMTP
MAIL_MAILER=mail
MAIL_HOST=mail
MAIL_PORT=2465
MAIL_USERNAME=mixpost.app@domain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=grjk34jkl6543jklerjkl34jkl5lkj3436df4334
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="mixpost.app@domain.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

I think MAIL_MAILER= needs to be smtp. At least that's what I had set up:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail
MAIL_PORT=2465
MAIL_USERNAME=app@domain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD= grjk34jkl6543jklerjkl34jkl5lkj3436df4334
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="app@domain.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

I honestly don't really see the point in packaging it thought, works perfectly in the LAMP app.

Loads of apps could in theory work perfectly in the LAMP app - but it requires a load of work to set-up. Having it packaged would save all that work.

@jdaviescoates exactly! I spent over two hours reinstalling mixpost yesterday. Most of that time was spent re-reading all the forum posts and docs to refresh my memory. Upgrading will still be a manual hassle too. There’s also an unsolved mystery, symphony; what is keeping horizon running?

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren I’ll give smtp a try but i think i tried that yesterday. Maybe i need different settings because i use a mailgun relay.

[humptydumpty]

SMTP didn't work. I'll ask upstream.

[andreasdueren]

@jdaviescoates I understand that. It seems to me though that the three different models add too much complexity though.

Hmm maybe you're right. I'm not sure my emails are being delivered either. Let me know if you find something out.

[andreasdueren]

Looks like the latest update just fixed something because I got multiple reset emails right after

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren mail is still not working after updating to 2.2.3. Are you using the info from credentials.txt or the SMTP relay user/credentials that's set up on the relay's dashboard (mailgun)?

I also tried port 2525 with different mail_mailer values (mail, smtp, SMTP).. no luck.

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren BTW, in your Cloudron > Email, is your mail server name smtp or mail?

I have it as mail. In credentials.txt, it shows mail as value for the first two lines.

[andreasdueren]

@humptydumpty I did also play with my .env credentials and put them in quotation marks among other things:

# SMTP
MAIL_MAILER="smtp"
MAIL_HOST="mail"
MAIL_PORT="2525"
MAIL_USERNAME="app@domain.tld"
MAIL_PASSWORD="grjk34jkl6543jklerjkl34jkl5lkj3436df4334"
MAIL_ENCRYPTION="ssl"
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="app@ domain.tld"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

That was a few days ago though. Maybe this in combination with the update fixed this.

[humptydumpty]

You're using SSL instead of TLS. Yeah, by default, only the mail_from_address had quotations which I found odd. Let me copy yours and see how it goes.

Mail server location is mail. Also shows mail in the credentials.

Yes it's one of the changes I made. But I reckon both should work.

[humptydumpty]

No luck yet. I'm starting to suspect my server set up.

• cloudron #1 ("mail" mail server for incoming + SMTP relay for outgoing)
• cloudron #2 - mixpost is installed here (no incoming mail + SMTP relay for outgoing)

All other apps can send and receive mail on cloudron #2 (receiving goes thru CR #1 obviously) just fine so I know the setup works.

Later today I'll try creating a dedicated SMTP user in Mailgun and using that instead to bypass any possible server config issues.
