Nodebb and emails

@phenomlab
At the top of the manage/email page I put the “sender From” as exactly same as the email server.Is there another place I need to put that?

@phenomlab yes tried all the templates
@Panda is the error message still the same even after ensuring the email address is correct? After saving, have you restarted nodebb and tried again?

@Panda I use my own internal post fix server. What is the latest error message you receive?

how difficult to set up your own ‘post fix server’ like you have?
Any costs to that?
@Panda if you are using your own vps and have root access, you can install your own post fix server free. Not difficult, but not easy either if you do not understand the technology.

It’s going to be something simple. PM me the details of your site, and also the details for your fastmail account and I’ll get it to work.
I’ll need your fastmail login and admin access to your forum.

OK, after taking a look at this, I’ve done the following
- Set your nodebb instance to use custom smtp and send via
smtp.fastmail.com - Save and test
I now get the error
Invalid login: 535 5.7.0 Sorry, you need to create an app password to use this service. Please see fastmail.com/help for more details.This means you need to configure an app inside fastmail to send emails.
After you’ve done this, it should work

@phenomlab ok thanks will try with app password
I wonder why it needed custom setup - Set your nodebb instance to use custom smtp and send via

Finally it works, thanks.
I had to regenerate the app password on fastmail, and the test email send is working.Out of interest, in your custom set up of fastmail, how did you know to pick SMPT port 465?
