Description

Hi there.

Looks like redmine 2.3.0 is not able to send e-mails if ssmtp is installed rather than, for instance, postfix.

My settings:

/srv/www/redmine/config/configuration.yml
production:
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :sendmail

a) With postfix installed -> it works
b) With ssmtp installed -> it doesn't work

It doesn't prints nothing on /var/log/mail.log.

My guess is that /usr/sbin/sendmail binary installed with ssmtp has different parameters than the one installed by postfix

I can confirm/reproduce that that in 2.3.1.

Environment:
  Operating System                         Debian Linux 7.1 (wheezy/stable) 
  Redmine version                          2.3.1.stable 
  Ruby version                             1.9.3 (x86_64-linux) 
  Rails version                            3.2.13 
  Environment                              production 
  Database adapter                         PostgreSQL 
Redmine plugins:
  redmine_ldap_sync                        2.0.1.devel.g7566486332

config/configuration.yml:

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :sendmail

I can send emails from the commandline ("echo "Subject: test" | sendmail -v "). Postfix is not installed but ssmtp is.

root@caspar:/var/lib/redmine# echo "Subject: test" | sendmail -v user@domain.tld
[<-] 220 mail.domain.tld ESMTP Postfix
[->] HELO caspar.server.domain.tld
[<-] 250 mail.domain.tld

[->] QUIT
[<-] 221 2.0.0 Bye

Because I got the test email from the commandline I think my /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf should be correct.

Looks like a typo since Ubuntu 12.10 ships with 2.64-7.

postfix - 2.9.6-1~12.10.1

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10

I'm also on Ubuntu 12.10 and I have not seen any problem between Redmine and sSMTP. I'm running Redmine version 2.3.2 though.

Environment:
  Redmine version                2.3.2.stable
  Ruby version                   1.9.3-p194 (2012-04-20) [x86_64-linux]
  Rails version                  3.2.13
  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               Mysql2
Redmine plugins:
  no plugin installed

So, works for me.

Note: since I'm getting "422. This request was denied because it was considered spam or your IP adress is temporarily blocked." while trying to update the issue, I'll replace, as per http://www.redmine.org/issues/12495 all links and domains by redime.org.

Updated information:

1. Software versions:

Environment:
Operating System Ubuntu Server 12.10
Redmine version 2.3.2 2013-07-14
Ruby version ruby 1.8.7 2012-02-08 patchlevel 358 [x86_64-linux]
Rails version 3.2.13
Environment production
Database adapter Mysql
ssmtp version 2.64-7

2. E-mail settings ssmtp using 3rd party relay, replaced by redmine.org in this snippet

ssmtp 2.64-7

/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

root=
mailhub=smtp.redmine.org:587
UseTLS=YES
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthMethod=LOGIN
  1. 3rd party relay credentials
    AuthUser=*********@redmine.org
    AuthPass=*********
    hostname=server.redmine.org

3. I can send e-mails through ssmtp:

echo "Subject: test" | sendmail -v

[<-] 220 mx.redmine.org ESMTP dr11sm4732360wid.3 - gsmtp
[->] EHLO server.redmine.org

[<-] 354 Go ahead dr11sm4732360wid.3 - gsmtp
[->] Received: by server.redmine.org sSMTP sendmail emulation; Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:38:08 +0200
[->] From: "local_unix_user" <>
[->] Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:38:08 +0200
[->] Subject: test
[->]
[->] .
[<-] 250 2.0.0 OK 1377873491 dr11sm4732360wid.3 - gsmtp
[->] QUIT
[<-] 221 2.0.0 closing connection dr11sm4732360wid.3 - gsmtp

4. I tried to create a user and check "Send account information to the user", and also creating a ticket and adding this new user as a watcher. In both cases looks like redmine never reached ssmtp, since /var/log/mail.log shows no activity.

Simon Z can you please provide same details of your working environment?

Can somebody else please try to reproduce?

Thanks

I had the same problem running redmine 2.3.3 on Ubuntu Server 12.04. The problem seems to be the '-t' option given to sendmail. By changing the configuration.yml file to

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :sendmail
    sendmail_settings:
      arguments: '-i'

redmine is now able to send messages via ssmtp.
