Mixpost

@humptydumpty just to double check credentials, you can try the swaks CLI tool in the web terminal. See https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#sendmail for an example

@andreasdueren said in Mixpost:

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

The mail server location is for the "external facing" domain name. So, it would be mail.domain.com for the external world. The mail that you use in the env variables is the internal DNS i.e the mail container is named mail internally. Both these are totally different! mail containers name will not change in the foreseeable future but mail.domain.com could be changed by user to whatever they want.

@humptydumpty I'm not using my Cloudron for incoming mail either. So I don't think this is an issue.

[humptydumpty]

I'm not sure if I'm using the swaks command right. In the app's terminal, I typed swaks it said To, I pasted the >swaks bla bla (first line), it said connection refused on port 25. Did the same for the second line and got the same result.

Anyway, I think there's a mistake in the docs: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#sendmail where it says CLOUDRON_MAIL_DOMAIN= # the domain name to use for email sending (i.e username@domain) shouldn't it be mydomain.com and not username@domain?

[jdaviescoates]

All this just makes it clear to me that this app needs packaging so everything Just Works, as is the Cloudron way.

[girish]

@humptydumpty you should be able to cut and paste the command as-is and it will work. The port is not 25, it's 2525

I will fix the typo in the docs, but it's trying to say the "i.e the domain part of username@domain"

[humptydumpty]

@girish I received the test emails that I sent to my Protonmail address! What does that mean in terms of the app not sending the reset email?

[girish]

@humptydumpty I guess it means it is either a configuration issue or a mixpost issue because Cloudron side is OK

@humptydumpty here is my complete .env file in case there is something else in there that's useful:

Thanks @andreasdueren I have a lot of missing entries compared to yours. Somehow none of these got set up on a fresh Mixpost install, but adding them didn't resolve the issue

* APP_ENV=production
* APP_DOMAIN=app.tld.ld (adjusted to same value as APP_URL)
* QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
* CACHE_DRIVER=redis
* SESSION_DRIVER=redis
* MIXPOST_FORGOT_PASSWORD=true
* MIXPOST_TWO_FACTOR_AUTH=true
* MIXPOST_DEFAULT_LOCALE=de-DE (adjusted to en-US)

I remember pulling some of these off here. Sorry that didn't help.

[andreasdueren]

@humptydumpty If you care, I can offer to take a look at your installation and compare to what I'm running to try to troubleshoot.

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren I'll take you up on that if I can't figure this out after a fresh install attempt. I won't follow the guide we have on here and will follow the upstream docs this time. It's not a CR issue for sure. I have a ticket opened on Mixpost's Discord, and other non-CR users can't receive emails either.

[David 0]

any news on this yet? I don't want to try hacking this together; I'd like to see Mixpost as an App in the Cloudron App Store

Me too! But I'm not sure anyone is working on that and the developer didn't really seem to get the need for it once he'd spotted that some people had successfully managed to hack it together themselves

[actuarch]

+1 for Mixpost

[humptydumpty]

@actuarch Upvoting here doesn't help. We need to convince Dima (upstream) to get it ready for packaging.

Well, upvoting the actually original post at the top of this thread does help the Cloudron team and other Cloudron users know which apps are most in demand (and could conceivable help convince Dima to help too - although it doesn't require his input, it'd just be great to have it)

[humptydumpty]

@jdaviescoates You're right, but Mixpost is a special case. The way the app is structured makes it close to impossible to get it packaged on Cloudron unless Dima wants to change a few things on his end. There's a discussion between Dima and Girish about this somewhere on this forum, might be in this very thread.
