SID-01590: E-mail Set Setup in TWiki

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.1	Perl version:	5.0
Category:	CategoryEmail	Server OS:	Linux on DreamHost	Last update:	11 years ago

I have been running my TWiki site with people registering successfully with authentication (that is, they must receive an E-mail back from my site).

Now, a person who trys to register gets thte following TWiki error from my site: "Internal error when sending E-mail to the register's E-mail address. You have not been registered."

My configure file has been set up as follows:

Webmaster E Mail: webmaster@mysitePLEASENOSPAM.net WebMaster Name: TWiki Administrator Mail Program: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oeg {SMTP}{MailHost}: localhost {SMTP}{SenderHost}: left blank {SMTP}{Username}: my E-mail address which uses Yahoo E-mail {SMTP}{Password} my password for Yahoo mail

My Web Site Host Is DreamHost

I sent them the debug output from the Apache log and here is what DreamHost said in a return message:

They want me to add to my SMTP script the following:

Yahoo! Mail SMTP server host: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Yahoo! Mail SMTP user name: Your full Yahoo! Mail email address (including "@yahoo.com") Yahoo! Mail SMPT password: Your Yahoo! Mail password Yahoo! Mail SMTP port: 465 Yahoo! Mail SMTP TLS/SSL required:yes

Does the above make sense: I didn't have to do this before.

If this does make sense, what script file in TWiki must I change?

Thanks

Discussion and Answer

The message Mail SMTP TLS/SSL required:yes means that either the TLS or SSL protocol is required. TWiki only supports plain text connections or S/MIME connections. TWiki needs to be enhanced to support SMTP either with TLS or SSL.

TWiki does not yet support TLS for e-mail. There is a patch however: SMTPUseTLS
