Unable to sent out a test email

Added by Joong Lee over 15 years ago

I'm getting the following error when I click on the "Send a test email" in the admin|email notification section.

An error occurred while sending mail (500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command)

The production.log file looks okay...

Here is the SMTP setting in config/environment.rb:
  1. SMTP server configuration
    config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :address => "our.comany.com",
    :port => 25,
    :domain => "our.company.domain",
    :authentication => :login,
    :user_name => "xxxx",
    :password => "xxxx",
    }
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

First I would suggest to use the email.yml file instead of changing the environment.rb.
You'll be able to migrate your email config while upgrading your Redmine copy.

About your error, be sure the :address value is your SMTP hostname.
It is usually something like mail.company.com where company.com is your company domain name.
