Redmine email.yml: Enable Email Sending Through Gmail
Posted by alex in Insights at 1:05 AMFollow the below instructions to have your Redmine application send email using TLS through Gmail. As long as you have a Gmail account you will be able to send mail through smtp.gmail.com.
- Install TLS: First install TLS for the Redmine project. Login to the server with the user that runs Redmine and issue the below command from the Redmine project root directory to install TLS.
./script/plugin install http://svn.douglasfshearer.com/rails/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls
- Modify email.yml File: Now modify the email.yml file with contents similar to the below.
production: delivery_method: :smtp smtp_settings: tls: true address: smtp.gmail.com port: 587 domain: YOURDOMAIN authentication: :login user_name: "GMAILUSER" password: "GMAILPASSWORD"
- Restart Web Server: Restart your web server which in my case is LiteSpeed.
- Test Ticket Updates: Now update a ticket that belongs to you and see if you receive an update via email. If you do not then check the Administration >> Settings area to make sure everything is configured properly within Redmine.

I tried this and it doesn’t seem to work for me. I get the error:
An error occurred while sending mail (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2))
I’m using Redmine 0.8, Rails 2.2.2 on Dreamhost. My error logs don’t seem to elaborate.

Hello Alan,
Did you restart your web server after adding the plugin? Could you post your email.yml file?

i’m a asp.net web developer assigned to install redmine (v. 0.8.2) on a windows 2003 server. i have it up and running using the bitnami installer. i’m running into some issues getting the emailer to work.
i’ve changed the email.yml and need to install the action_mailer_tls. i’ve tried runnig a “.script/plugin” but it doesn’t find my install path. can you be more specific like what is the proper redmine root directory? mine is installed at ‘c:\program files\bitnami redmine stack”.
thanks.

Hello lee,
The root of the project is a variable. It is something you have set. So whatever directory has the following directories/files: Rakefile . config, doc, files, lib, public, script, test.rb, vendor, app, db, extra, lang, log, repos, test , and tmp.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Hello sawad,
How are you trying to send a test email? If by chance you have changed to development, staging, or another mode then you need to have those modes configured in the email.yml. Anyhow let us know how you are trying to send test emails and where the error above is being seen (shell output or logs)?
Thanks.

Hello sawad,
Do you have a domain configured for GoogleApps? If not you should remove the domain setting. If that does not fix the issue then we will need to know what version of Redmine and if you have any plugins installed.
Thanks.
