Error while trying to send e-mail #462

Hi, not sure what the problem is. Here is a minimal example, can you please run that directly in Python and try out which configuration works for you? import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
from email.utils import make_msgid
msg = EmailMessage()
msg.set_content("Hello World.")
msg["Subject"] = "Test"
msg["From"] = "[email protected]"
msg["To"] = "[email protected]"
msg["Message-ID"] = make_msgid()
host = "smtp.office365.com"
port = 587
user = "[email protected]"
password = "my-app-password"
use_tls = True # try with False as well
if use_tls:
smtp = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(host=host, port=port, timeout=10)
else:
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(host=host, port=port, timeout=10)
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.starttls()
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.login(user, password)
smtp.send_message(msg)
smtp.quit() |

@DavidMStraub first of all, thanks for quick reply. I just created a quick and dirty With Just in case, I have double checked it now. I have (again) tested Gramps using |

No, that's fine. But indeed it's very puzzling that it works for you using the above script, but not in Gramps Web. You are using the default docker images, right? |

I think the problem is that you are using |

Yes, that was it! Using GRAMPSWEB_EMAIL_USE_TLS: "false" in lowercase did the trick. I started using the docker-compose.yaml from https://github.com/gramps-project/web/blob/main/examples/docker-compose-base/docker-compose.yml and ended customising it a bit with some extra environment variables for the email feature. I thought that Python would do that trivial conversions from string to boolean values. It seems I was wrong. Maybe updating that file with these environment variables, and some comments would avoid others this very same issue in the future. Thanks a lot for you help. |

Thanks! I added a warning to the docs: gramps-project/gramps-web-docs@efc54b1 Not allowing anything but |
We have a docker-compose install running but whenever a users tries to reset his password throght the lost password/reset password feature we can see the following lines in the logs of
grampsweb_celerycontainer:We are using the following docker-compose environment variables:
As you can see we are sending the emails from an @outlook.com address via smtp.office365.com host using an application password created through the page https://account.live.com/proofs/Manage/additional (for more information about app passwords, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=277093 )
We have the email feature set up this way in other devices/services (because the sending email address has Multifactor Authenticator enabled) and it works perfectly fine. It does not matter if we try with TLS: true or false when using PORT: 587. Both cases yield the same results.
However, when using PORT 465, the errors are slightly different (with this port it fails a line earlier, "/usr/lib/python3.11/smtplib.py", line 1056):
The error when using port 587 is related to [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER]. Maybe it is something related to the version of TLS being used (TLS 1.1 is now deprecated).
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
