Req: SMTP Documentaton Reference

[kwiza12]

I'm configuring smtp using the environment variables specified in the document.
However, I miss few information/or possible values allowed for certain variables.
What are the allowed values for these parameters?

EMAIL_SMTP_AUTH - Default is plain, what are the other allowed values?
EMAIL_SMTP_TLS - Default is nil, what values allowed here? is it a boolean variable?

Also is there a way to verify the settings by sending a test mail or validate the configuration?

Hi kwiza12, thanks for reaching out!

These parameters are passed as-is to Rails ActionMailer smtp_settings. You can check out its documentation here. EMAIL_SMTP_AUTH is passed to the authentication field, EMAIL_SMTP_TLS to ssl/tls.

Anyway, thanks for pointing that out. I'll add some information to the docs website soon.

Also is there a way to verify the settings by sending a test mail or validate the configuration?

Unfortunately no :( can you think of a simple way to add this functionality?

Hello, this is not very understandable, can you specify how to do it in the dokcer-compose please?

[riggraz]

Hi @zarevskaya, you can check out a basic docker-compose.yml configuration here. Starting from that configuration, you can add, in the web service, the required environment variables for SMTP (take a look at the table for that).

Hope that helps!
