I propose to move the mail settings to a file similar to database.yml (eg. email.yml), with a section for each environment (production, development ...).

It would like this:

<pre>
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.somenet.foo
port: 25
domain: somenet.foo
authentication: :login
user_name: redmine@somenet.foo
password: redmine
perform_deliveries: true

development:
[...]
</pre>

What do you think ?

That should work good. I've seen several projects use a format like that.

Hi Jean-Philippe, yes that would be fine.

Thanks

Committed in r1625.
SMTP settings should now be entered in config/email.yml (see the sample email.yml.example).

It took me a while to figure out how to get Redmine to send emails using an internal SMTP server that doesn't require authentication - Google turned up some settings for ActionMailer that didn't work - so I thought I would document it here in case it is useful for anyone else.

If you are getting "authentication not enabled" when you try and send a test email, you need to configure your email.yml like:
<pre>
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: mailserver.domain.tld
port: 25
domain: thisserver.domain.tld
</pre>

I.e. remove the lines relating to authentication, user_name and password.

Took me a while to find this too. For non-ruby users, things like this do need documenting somewhere.

I gave up on using gmail as SMTP server and used this method to use the IIS SMTP server. I also had to give access in IIS for my computer (acting as the server) to relay email and then notifications worked.

I am so glad I found this solution!!!

Thanks,
