I’m trying to setup Gmail SMTP with gitea. I have the following settings:
[mailer]
ENABLED = true
FROM = my gmail address
PROTOCOL = smtps
SMTP_ADDR = smtp.gmail.com
SMTP_PORT = 587
USER = my gmail address
PASSWD =my app password
I ran the command:
gitea admin sendmail --title “Hello from Gitea” --content “This is a test”
and got:
Proceed with sending email? [Y/n] y
Sent 1 email(s) to all users
The docker log shows:
2023/10/14 12:19:15 …eb/routing/logger.go:102:func1() [I] router: completed POST /api/internal/mail/send for 127.0.0.1:0, 200 OK in 10.2ms @ private/mail.go:25(private.SendEmail)
But I did not receive an email, any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or the best way to debug this issue
I changed the logging level to trace and reran and got the following output
