  • Actually it seems that port 587 is open (starttls) while port 465 (tls) is closed. I can connect to port 587 on my email server from my Hetzner instance (im also using them).

    But how should the config look like to forward emails? How does your config look like?

  • Lemmy Support @lemmy.ml

    Cant get email to work on my instance

    I cant get my email sending to work on my instance. After trying for hours, i wanted to ask for some support here since im quite stuck and dont understand.

    I installed Lemmy using ansible so everything is set up in a very standard way - except email.

    I want my instance to send email to an external smtp server (Fastmail) whenever there is a need to send an email (user registration, password reset, etc).

    Currently the email settings in lemmy.hjson looks like this:

     undefined
        
      email: {
        smtp_server: "postfix:25"
        smtp_login: "abc@fastmail.se"
        smtp_password: "fastmail_user_password_here"
        smtp_from_address: "noreply@lemmy.today"
        tls_type: "tls"
      }
    
      

    It seems like i need to have postfix:25 as the smtp server. What i really want is to put smtp.fastmail.com:465 here since thats what i want to use to send email. But that doesnt seem to work.

    So I understand I need to send email through postfix, but then I wonder, how should the config look like to send emails to smtp.fastma

  • Great work! Can you include the instance description in this list also?

    Also i would love to see country but that's doesn't seem to be included in the Lemmy app. I guess you could do a ip lookup on some service to see country if you really wanted to.

  • First thing I read on Lemmy and it's like I've found emotionally intelligent people finally.

    I saw the same thing on Mastadon, just normal people capable of handling their emotions.

    Western social media (and television) is promoting the worst in people and it can make users believe everyone is insane. So it's very nice to see this being posted.

    Thanks!
