GMAIL SMTP is somewhat unreliable on Railway
I've managed to get it working by using port 587 and turning TLS off

ok let me try that

@Fragly did you set it up like this?

Yea, that seems about right

still failed to send the email

did you specify your username and password at the bottom?

but my instance is also still running on the railway url: "https://plane-production-6632.up.railway.app/god-mode/email/"

nope

I'm pretty sure that is required for any gmail smtp

here's my setup

( slightly older version of plane )

how did you setup the gmail for this? is this just your email with the sso password?

i did read that the sso password differs from the email password

In my gmail settings I set up custom emails here:

the username would then be the base gmail account's email and the send as would be the email you added here ^

the password is an "App Password" that you can create in your google account (requires 2fa enabled) by going to your 2fa settings and going to app password

( I think, I set these up a long time ago so I may be misremembering the exact details )

where can i find this app passwords? i did read this but i am unable to find the point where to setup this app

Google Account -> Security -> 2-Step Verification -> App Passwords

thanks

no problem!

Still no success with the app password

its so weird that i cant even see the reason for it

try turning email security off

Plane hates me, the only reason i can think off 😄

and i cant even see any error message in the api container

and you did add the email to your Gmail settings, right?

yes

the only thing i changed was, that i use my real email as a sender instead of an alias

but this shouldnt make a difference

Well if that's the only difference between my working setup and your not working setup then maybe it does make difference
could you try making the Sender Email the alias email you added to your gmail account? if that doesn't work then i'm out of ideas 🤣

that does only work if i have another email, which i dont have

for this to work you require 2 email adresses

1. a base gmail adress

2. an alias email that you've added to your base gmail adress

you then need to set your username to your base gmail adress
set the password to the same app password you used to configure the alias email address
set the port to the same port you configured on your alias email address
and finally use the alias email as the sender email (I think)

the second step is the problem, i can add an alias but this email have to exist lol

oh 🤣

so, not really an alias in my eyes

well i've never tried sending emails via a base gmail address before so idrk how to do that

i also added as alias my other email, but still, failed to send

was hi@tecdip.com just a placeholder then?

Nope

this also did work

but cant change a port or something.

so fed up with this google shit

I am not really sure how it is possible to configure that without specifying a port

Honestly it might just be better using a dedicated smtp server
gmail smtp is known to be unreliable on Railway

If you really need to use a gmail smtp server then I recommend looking up a tutorial for how to set one up properly
