[web2py] Re: Sending email with localhost / Postfix

2012-05-26 Thread Massimo Di Pierro 
Something is wrong with postfilx configuration. Use a python shell and try 
the smtplib library directly. I use postfix all the time and nothing has 
change in those parts of web2py.

 I've played with variations of the following settings:

 mail.settings.server='127.0.0.1:25' / 'smtp.localhost:25' / 'localhost' / 
 'localhost:25'
 mail.settings.sender='y...@example.com'
 mail.settings.login='' / False / None


 Sending mail via gmail SMTP works fine, but I need local postfix capability

Got this working on the CentOS server as follows:

mail.settings.server = 'localhost:25'
mail.settings.sender = 'y...@mail.com'
mail.settings.login = None


Massimo, please note the book says Set mail.settings.login=False if the 
SMTP server does not require authentication. 
This was failing for me- It only worked when 
mail.settings.login = None

This appears to be fixed in the trunk (but it wouldn't hurt to say None in the 
book).
