Description

Items that will be customised regularly on a per-installation basis should not be in version-controlled code. This makes upgrading harder or even working with an svn checkout of a branch (e.g. the 0.7-stable branch).

In the first case, moving to a new installation will break loose the SMTP settings as you'll get a new environment.rb and in the second, you'll always see local modifications etc.

The config settings for SMTP server should either be in the database (configured through the e-mail administration page) or in a separate config file that isn't versioned (similar to databases.yml).

Email delivery configuration moved to an unversioned YAML file (config/email.yml, see the sample file) (#1412).
Email delivery is disabled. It's automatically turned on when configuration is found.

I propose to move the mail settings to a file similar to database.yml (eg. email.yml), with a section for each environment (production, development ...).

It would like this:

production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: smtp.somenet.foo
    port: 25
    domain: somenet.foo
    authentication: :login
    user_name: redmine@somenet.foo
    password: redmine
  perform_deliveries: true

development:
[...]

What do you think ?

That should work good. I've seen several projects use a format like that.

Hi Jean-Philippe, yes that would be fine.

Thanks

Committed in r1625.
SMTP settings should now be entered in config/email.yml (see the sample email.yml.example).

It took me a while to figure out how to get Redmine to send emails using an internal SMTP server that doesn't require authentication - Google turned up some settings for ActionMailer that didn't work - so I thought I would document it here in case it is useful for anyone else.

If you are getting "authentication not enabled" when you try and send a test email, you need to configure your email.yml like:
production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: mailserver.domain.tld
    port: 25
    domain: thisserver.domain.tld

I.e. remove the lines relating to authentication, user_name and password.

Took me a while to find this too. For non-ruby users, things like this do need documenting somewhere.
