Emails not sending

wmandai

I've updated the settings in the .env file, cleared the config cache every time, and tried both secure (465) and non-secure (25) ports for my SMTP server, but emails are still not sending.

Change the port to 465 and MAIL_ENCRYPTION to ssl or tls

If you have problem with mailing with this setup then please contact your provider with those variables and ask correct info:

You can use gmail smtp too as shown in this example;

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your gmail address
MAIL_PASSWORD=your gmail password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
If you have problem with mailing with gmail setup then please try to get Google app password and use that password as your gmail pass on MAIL_PASSWORD variable:

https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

wmandai

For mailgun users try this;

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=YourMailgunSMTPUsername
MAIL_PASSWORD=YourMailgunSMTPPassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

To send emails using sendmail enter;
MAIL_DRIVER=sendmail

I am unable to get the default sendmail to work in workice at all.
I have tried to send mail through the cli, through a PHP script and it all works except when I try and use workice.
Maybe you could add the needed steps to the Digital Ocean Installation I made so that this will work with the normal SMTP servers and/or just sendmail
Please help

Allowing "less secure apps" at gmail fixed this issue for me
https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

But I get a warning in google for doing so. Would be helpful if there is a "more secure" way then.

I changed the E-Mail host back away from gmail cause Workice started to send Ticket replies to every email that ended up in my Inbox.

I'd recommend using mailgun (https://www.mailgun.com) for transactional emails (10,000 free emails/month) instead of gmail.

Activating the CRON and creating a Google Apps password for the login since I use two-factor-auth (https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords) did the trick for me. Now emails are sent and can be retrieved from Gmail. Unfortunately as martin already stated Workice responds to ANY mail I receive. That seems like bug! Please provide a fix. I want to create tickets ONLY for mail from users that are registered as clients within Workice. Thanks in advance.
