h4. Asynchronous delivery_methods
34
35 52 Go MAEDA
The @:async_smtp@ and @:async_sendmail@ use asynchronous sends, which means Redmine does not wait for the email to be sent to display the next page.  See "Asynchronous Email Delivery":http://redmineblog.com/articles/asynchronous-email-delivery/ for more details. Some SMTP servers have delay period before processing takes place as an anti-spam feature, during which time synchronous method will block Redmine ("10 seconds":https://community.bitnami.com/t/updating-an-issue-in-redmine-takes-10-seconds/4421 could be a default value, see also #11376 for more information).
36 1 Cyber Sprocket
37 52 Go MAEDA
With this delivery method, smtp configuration is specified using @async_smtp_settings@ keyword instead of @smtp_settings@ keyword:

If you want to use GMail/Google Apps and other TLS-requiring SMTP servers, you'll have to add some TLS-related settings:

When sending from G Suite (formerly Google Apps), it's good to use *SMTP relay* which has much larger sending limits.
98
More information and detailed guide how to enable SMTP relay is here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491
99 46 Maxim Krušina
When configuring SMTP relay service use something like this:
100
* Name: Redmine
101
* 1. Allowed senders:
102
** Only registered Apps users in my domains - in case You have created dedicated G Suite user for Redmine
103
* 2. Authentication
104
** [x] Only accept mail from the specified IP addresses - IP address of your Redmine server
105
** [x] Require SMTP Authentication
106
* 3. Encryption
107
** [x] Require TLS encryption
108

And config can be really simple:

Here is an example for Office 365 users (Exchange online). The sender must have an account, or if you want to send from a shared mailbox, the account below must have authorization to "Send As" the sender which is defined in Redmine email notifications settings.

h3. Error: "hostname was not match with the server certificate"
170
171
If you get this error, there's probably a problem verifying the SSL certificate of your smtp relay. As a temporary fix, you can set this option in the appropriate "email_delivery" section:
172
173 48 Toshi MARUYAMA
<pre><code class="yml">
174 35 Jean-Baptiste Barth
    enable_starttls_auto: false
175 48 Toshi MARUYAMA
</code></pre>
176 35 Jean-Baptiste Barth
177 53 Lloyd Su
If you have to enable starttls and just want to bypass the certificate verification, you can add following option in the appropriate "email_delivery" section:
178
179
<pre><code class="yml">
180
    openssl_verify_mode: "NONE"
181
</code></pre>
182
183 36 Richard Gomes
h3. Error: "Mail failure - no recipient addresses"
184
185
When this error happens, the notification is not delivered to the destination address. Instead, you will probably receive a rejection message on your sender address, where you can see the header of the message sent, containing "From:" fields but not containing any "To:" fields.
186
187 39 Richard Gomes
This error is common on *Debian* boxes, due to the way _exim4_ is configured by default, which is @"-i -t"@. This configuration tells _exim4_ that the destination address is inside the header of the message. Instead, we need to configure _exim4_ so that the destination address will be retrieved from the command line.
188 36 Richard Gomes
189 37 Richard Gomes
The solution consists on editing your _config/configuration.yml_ and making sure you define @arguments@ containing the string @"-i"@, as shown below:
190 36 Richard Gomes
191 47 Toshi MARUYAMA
<pre><code class="yml">
192 36 Richard Gomes
# default configuration options for all environments
193
default:
194
  email_delivery:    
195
    delivery_method: :sendmail
196
    sendmail_settings:
197
      arguments: "-i" 
198 47 Toshi MARUYAMA
</code></pre>
199 36 Richard Gomes
200 40 Richard Gomes
The example above employs @:sendmail@ method, which employs @sendmail_settings@. In case you are using @:smtp@ or @:async_smtp@ methods, try @smtp_settings@ instead.
