Configuration for email notifications

In order to have Easy Project send notifications about new tasks, task updates, and all other selected events, you need to connect the application to a mail server. E-mail configuration settings can be found in the file configuration.yml ([easyproject root]/config/configuration.yml). After making any changes in this configuration file, you will need to restart the application server for them to take effect. Test whether your configuration is correct in Administration » Settings » Email notifications – Send a test email.

Here follow example configuration.yml configurations.

Simple Login Authentication (default settings)

# Outgoing email settings

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      address: "smtp.example.net"
      port: '25'
      domain: "example.net"
      authentication: :login
      user_name: "easyproject@example.net"
      password: "easyproject"

development:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      address: "127.0.0.1"
      port: '25'
      domain: example.net
      authentication: :login
      user_name: "easyproject@example.net"
      password: "easyproject"

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

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      port: '587'
      domain: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      authentication: :plain
      user_name: "your_email@gmail.com" 
      password: "your_password" 

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 Easy Project email notifications settings.

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "smtp.office365.com" 
      port: '587'
      domain: "your_domain.com" 
      authentication: :login
      user_name: "email@your_domain.com" 
      password: "password" 

No Authentication

Example for an SMTP service provider with no authentication.

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      address: "smtp.knology.net"
      port: '25'
      domain: "cybersprocket.com"

Using sendmail command
