Custom SMTP in App Server

It’s very late and it’s been a very long week.

I have an app. Am migrating it to app server for wrap around security. Have three more apps to do the same with this week.

Have set up custom smtp in the IDE, works fine.

Moving to the app server just cannot get it to work, same AWS SES credentials.

Have tried just leaving it to the YAML but getting the “from_address” are you sure message.

Have tried with a config file, set up properly from previous experience but this just leads to constant timeouts as SES says it is waiting for data (451).

Can someone please help a tired brain and just tell me in baby steps / tutorial style how to get SES to work with app server (and actually work)…

Huge anvil advocate, trying to convince others it’s the future. Just need a hand.

Pesonally, I dont touch the app sever. After some evaluation, I concluded that it wasn’t production ready.

From my memory, it is kind a bug that in the old version of the app server, it seems that it is not fixed. Someone even went to to app server code and found that it is hard code and cannot modified.

Hopefully you find a solution here.

I’m about to try something and will write up a tutorial afterwards if successful.

It looks like you can now set email_from_address in the config file and then, as long as other in-app emails have a from_address specified it looks like it should work.

Fingers crossed!
