    Overview

    If you want to use Gmail as your external SMTP server in MindTouch, follow these steps

    Goal

    After completing this tutorial emails will be sent out via Gmail.

     

    Make sure that Mono Devel is installed

    Run the following commands to confirm that the cert manager is installed

     

    apt-get install mono-2.0-devel
apt-get install mono-1.0-devel
cd /var/www
chmod -R 775 .config/
chmod -R 775 .wapi/

     

    Import Gmail SSL cert on linux

    This step is required for Linux deployments

    su www-data
certmgr -ssl smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465

    Control Panel setup

    Go into the Control Panel -> Email Settings and enter the following settings

    Server = smtp.gmail.com
     
    Port = 587
     
    Username = gmail full email address
     
    Password = Gmail password
     
    Additional Security = TLS

     

    Confirm

    You can confirm the email settings work by clicking on Send Test Email at the top of the page.  If you receive 2 emails, then the integration is successful.

    What's Next

    If you want to use a separate SMTP server, importing the certificate may not be necessary.  Check with your email provider to confirm the best settings for using them as an external SMTP server.
