未发送打开的edX smtp电子邮件

Question

I have installed Open edX bitnami ami and now testing it. I want to send emails from the edX instance like registration confirmation email. I have followed the documentation here: How to configure outbound email settings I used mandrill smtp host instead of gmail. But I could not receive any mail as for some reason the configuration did not work. How can I configure the email settings? I also want to know where are the console email being logged and where to look for to solve email issues?

Answer 1

I was just able to get it to work. Here's how I did this:

1. I followed the "Gmail SMTP" guide on the Bitnami Wiki for Open edX.
2. Make sure you replace all ocurrences of "smtp.gmail.com" by "smtp.mandrillapp.com" in all edX configuration files: lms.env.conf, lms.auth.conf, cms.env.conf, cms.auth.conf.
3. Change all the occurrences of EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD accordingly.
4. Restart Apache.
5. Test it, for example, log in and try to change your email address to a valid one. You should get a verification mail.

By the way, I've updated the Bitnami wiki including Mandrill configuration: https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/Bitnami_Open_edX#SMTP_configure_for_Mandrill (just updated, you should also add the DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL field). Hope it helps.

Change following attributes in common.py and aws.py

django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend to

django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend

Set the value in lms.env.json

EMAIL_HOST="smtp.gmail.com", EMAIL_PORT="587", EMAIL_HOST_USER="emailid", EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD="password" and EMAIL_USE_TLS="true"

then restart your edx sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart edxapp:

sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart edxapp_worker:
