Mattermost does not send a notification by mail

Hi@all,

since today’s update, Mattermost no longer sends notifications by mail. My settings look like this:

SMTP server: localhost
SMTP port: 25
Connection security: None

I have also tried other settings via port 465 and 587, but nothing works. What’s to do?

Regards…

Uwe

Check clues in maillog, you have probably the answer

Hi stephdl,

There are no error messages in the maillog. When I click on Test Connection in the Admin Console of Mattermost, I get the message: Connection unsuccessful. You do not have the required permissions.

Regards…

Uwe

IIRC roundcubemail uses 10587 on localhost for unauthenticated smtp connexion

I could reproduce the issue and solve it with

/opt/mattermost/bin/mattermost permissions reset

It seems to be an internal Mattermost error because there’s no error in maillog when sending a test mail from mattermost.
To be on the safe side, a DB backup is recommended.
See also Mattermost docs.

If you use custom schemes and permissions in your Mattermost installation you may have a look at permissions export/import.

Restart the service (don’t know if really needed but just to be sure):

systemctl restart mattermost

It may take some time because of cached data but finally sending mail should work again.

These settings should work.
