Email for pocketbase
-
Hi there!
I just confirmed that email works in PocketBase on Cloudron when using STARTTLS on port 2587.
What confused me is that PocketBase’s default SMTP port is 587, but on Cloudron nothing listens on 587, the provided ports are 2525 (plain), 2587 (STARTTLS), and 2465 (SMTPS).
Is the default 587 simply not applicable on Cloudron, or am I misunderstanding how PocketBase is expected to integrate with Cloudron’s mail relay?
Thanks!

Hello @jesperbllnbm
Due to the way PocketBase is developed it can not connect internally to STARTTLS without the certs.
This works for mosts apps, but some don't like it.
PocketBase is requiring a valid mail server certificate to send email internally, thus 2587 is used. -
Wow such a quick response time! Thanks that cleared it

Hi @James - I do have 1 more question. Is it normal that the container restart (stop->start, using the cloudron dashboard) resets the email port? After a restart I am back to 587, is there a way to persist this configuration?
Thanks in advance!

amazing turn around time -
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 -
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 sendsMany 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.
