SMTP mail driver won't send emails

[fernandoneto]

Im trying to configure cachethq to send emails to subscrivers, but emails never reach destiny.
this is how my docker-compose.yml configuration

mysql:
  restart: always
  ports:
  - "3306:3306"
  environment:
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
    MYSQL_USER: cachethq
    MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
    MYSQL_DATABASE: cachethq
  image: mysql:latest
  stdin_open: true

cachethq:
  restart: always
  ports:
  -  "8000:8000"
  environment:
    DB_DRIVER: mysql
    DB_HOST: mysql-server
    DB_DATABASE: cachethq
    DB_USERNAME: root
    DB_PASSWORD: password
    MAIL_DRIVER: smtp
    MAIL_HOST: mail.example.com
    MAIL_PORT: '25'
    MAIL_USERNAME: [email protected]
    MAIL_PASSWORD: somepassword
    MAIL_ADDRESS: [email protected]
    MAIL_NAME: [email protected]
  image: cachethq/docker:latest
  links:
  - mysql:mysql-server
  stdin_open: true

Im using my email server.

Looks like we don't actually setup the requirements for the SMTP driver (postfix). Will need to add this into the base image.

[djdefi]

Until we get around to adding postifx to the image, I recommend using something like Mailgun or Amazon SES to provide external SMTP.

May revisit this at a later time, but for now please just use Mailgun for sending emails.

Is this still true?

I believe this is still an issue. I've tried versions 2.3.6 - 2.3.9 and it is present in all of them. No emails are being sent, and there is no subscribe button.

Is there a solution for this issue anywhere? thanks for the help in advance.

Is MAIL_DRIVER=smtp still a problem?

Still a problem
smtp is not working on my side (with personal smtp or with outlook)
Connection could not be established with host smtp-mail.outlook.com :stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to tcp://smtp-mail.outlook.com:587 (Operation timed out)
