Cloudron Forum

Hello @bmann @bmann said in Mail problems on Ghost: bump on this Sorry that this topic did not get any traction for almost a week! @bmann said in Mail problems on Ghost: "Do not configure app's mail delivery settings The app's mail delivery settings is left alone. You can configure it inside the app." Where did you find this text? I could not find it in the documentation, the app package or anywhere. Would like to know where this came from since this might be misleading. @bmann said in Mail problems on Ghost: Going to try it! Wish me luck! If you want to tinker with apps, always create an app backup first or even clone the app so you can take a shotgun approach to the clone. There are certain settings for each app that Cloudron will override on every app restart. I know @BrutalBirdie submitted a PR yesterday about this => https://git.cloudron.io/docs/docs/-/merge_requests/75/diffs According to the app startup https://git.cloudron.io/packages/ghost-app/-/blob/master/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L39 If CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER is not empty it will set up the mail config on every app restart: if [[ -n "${CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER:-}" ]]; then json -I -f /app/data/config.production.json \ -e "this.mail.from = \"${CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME:-Ghost} <${CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM}>\"" \ -e "this.mail.options.host = '${CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER}'" \ -e "this.mail.options.port = '${CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PORT}'" \ -e "this.mail.options.auth.user = '${CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME}'" \ -e "this.mail.options.auth.pass = '${CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD}'" fi You may want to disable the mail config for the app to avoid this.

In the interim, I underwent the business evaluation process at Mailguns. The support staff was amiable, and my blogs received positive feedback. Due to a limitation of nine emails per transmission, I was required to send newsletters in smaller batches.

@wmlutz said in Outbound SMTP (Transactional Email) Stopped Working - Invalid login: 535 Authentication failed: @jdaviescoates got it! It was the IP allowlist. Glad to be of assistance @wmlutz said in Outbound SMTP (Transactional Email) Stopped Working - Invalid login: 535 Authentication failed: mailgun's transactional email cost which is cents/mo. I don't think I've ever paid anything yet as I've not yet gone over the 1000 free messages a month or whatever it is...

Yes, you’re correct! If you’ve configured Mailgun as a relay on Cloudron, you should use port 587 with STARTTLS for secure email sending. If you're looking for alternatives, I recommend SMTPget and iDealSMTP. Both offer reliable services and can also be easily configured for your email needs.

@girish Mailgun. It hasn't happened again (so far). BTW, the notification error listed only two out of ten domains (all using Mailgun).

@humptydumpty thanks, good to know. We don't automate Mailgun relay yet, so we are not affected.

@girish Awesome thanks.

@girish I originally tried that with no success, I figured that the Ghost CLI command initiated some other process or method

@edapm Personally, I'm all-in with Hetzner, not free but the best value for features I've found, particularly having network DDoS protection as standard. Others recommended include Contabo and Scaleway. If you're getting free (inclusive) stuff from Microsoft then I suppose that's decent. Personally, I'm all GitLab, so anything GitHub is second-choice. I guess there's nothing truly free, including your time, but those are the options I recommend, otherwise it's support tickets to Azure and hope for their ability to allow for port needs.
