Nodebb and emails
-
I have a Zoho mail account but it will not work on NodeBB for sending out any kind of emails.
Under AdminPanel/email
I selected Zoho in the list
Typed in username@mysite.co.uk
Typed in the Zoho email password
and saved.any email tests get an error
Invalid login: 535 Authentication FailedThis has been a problem for years, the zoho account sends emails fine, but it doesnt seem that my nodebb instance can use it?
-
Finally it works, thanks.
I had to regenerate the app password on fastmail, and the test email send is working.Out of interest, in your custom set up of fastmail, how did you know to pick SMPT port 465?

At the top of the manage/email page I put the “sender From” as exactly same as the email server.Is there another place I need to put that?

@Panda you need to place an email address there. Anything else will result in the error you’ve received

@phenomlab yes tried all the templates

@Panda is the error message still the same even after ensuring the email address is correct? After saving, have you restarted nodebb and tried again?

how difficult to set up your own ‘post fix server’ like you have?
Any costs to that? -

Any costs to that?@Panda if you are using your own vps and have root access, you can install your own post fix server free. Not difficult, but not easy either if you do not understand the technology.

@phenomlab Ive put a plea of Nodebb site for a response to my many threads on this.
Im not overstating it when I say people have left nodebb because of the same headache -
what version of nodebb is this site on now? Theres a bug that when I post it remains blank. If I reload page what I type shows!

@Panda that’s a css issue I need to fix. Nothing major.

It’s going to be something simple. PM me the details of your site, and also the details for your fastmail account and I’ll get it to work.
I’ll need your fastmail login and admin access to your forum.
