Emails are not sent/delivered using Amazon SES

Open mezuqu opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Summary:

Our canvaslms cannot send emails using Amazon Ses

Steps to reproduce:

Hello,

I have gone through all of the SMTP configurations.

Our Amazon EC2 server sends email with SMTP information provided by AWS SES without any problem as I have tested it using a php script.

I have also tried to debug the problem in the logs of both canvas and apache2 however no luck. I have seen that there are lots of people having problems with email delivery as most of the issues have not been solved in canvas.

Also it is so strange and I find this by luck, (it was never mentioned anywhere): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52380448/not-able-to-deliver-the-mail-in-canvas-lms-what-configuration-setting-i-am-miss

and I have enabled this feature.

Do I have to install a smtp sender like “sendemail” and configure it ? Can you point out us to find out the problem I am sure other people will benefit for this.

Here is my outgoing yml (i have also tried lots of other variations): (I have also enabled "enable_starttls_auto" and set authentication to "plain" as well but no luck after i restarted canvas)

production:
address: “[email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com](http://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/)”
port: “587”
delivery_method: “smtp”
#enable_starttls_auto: false
user_name: “AK…O”
password: “B…a”
authentication: “login” # plain, login, or cram_md5
domain: “online…org”
outgoing_address: “canvas@…org”
default_name: “Instructure Canvas”

Expected behavior:

It sould able to send emails once i reset my password, or I add someone to the course list from the panel.

Actual behavior:

It doesn't deliver any emails

I have enabled it also. no luck.

production:
  address: "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
  port: "587"
  #tls: false
  #delivery_method: "smtp"
  enable_starttls_auto: true
  user_name: "AK........O"
  password: "B........a"
  authentication: "plain" # plain, login, or cram_md5
  domain: "online.......org"
  outgoing_address: "[email protected]"
  default_name: "Instructure Canvas"

No luck with this configuration, as i am getting this error:

Hello @mezuqu , I have your exact configuration, like:

production: address: "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com" port: "587" enable_starttls_auto: true user_name: "AK........O" password: "B........a" authentication: "plain" domain: "online.......org" outgoing_address: "[email protected]" default_name: "Instructure Canvas"

But the difference is authentication: "login", hope this helps.
