Install/Maintain/Configure

Hello I’m having trouble with my gmail config:

I get this when testing the config
Failed to send a testing email to ‘riccardo@rotostampa.com’: gomail: could not send email 1: NewClient: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake

My config:

[mailer]
ENABLED        = true
FROM           = workflow.sender@gmail.com
MAILER_TYPE    = smtp
HOST           = smtp.gmail.com:587
IS_TLS_ENABLED = true
USER           = workflow.sender@gmail.com
PASSWD         = `...`
USE_SENDMAIL   = false

Error sending test email

I’m running gitea on kubernetes using gitea/gitea:1.10.4, but I have the same problem using gitea/gitea:latest

Is there a way to know if this is a bug? how am I supposed to fix this? this doesn’t look normal:

gomail: could not send email 1: NewClient: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake

and the configuration is the same of what is documented online.

This may be related to #7966 and/or #5967

but i’m using TLS in my configuration

riccardodivirgilio March 25, 2020, 2:47pm 6

those 2 issues are about a configuration with

IS_TLS_ENABLED = false

which is not my case

Should I open an issue on github for this? thanks.

My apologies, yes please open an issue. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the mailer can sort it out.

I got working

IS_TLS_ENABLED = false
PASSWD         = `password`

Important was to use ` around password and turn on less secure apps.
