I’m testing my email configuration but I just keep getting a green popup that says “error sending email to {address}”. I’ve checked production.log but all I see is messages relating to creating the popup, not what’s actually causing the error.
I use MailGun and I use it on other services, so I’m fairly confident that I have the correct credentials. But diaspora has a lot more config options than other services I’ve used. I think everything is correct, but clearly it’s not. If I could find the specific error I could probably chase down the problem.
So I think the error that I was getting was because the email I was trying to send was an invite to my email, which was already registered on the site. This is under the /admins/user_search page.
I switched to using an alias that isn’t signed up, and now I get a “Invitation sent to {address}” popup with the same style as the error in the screenshot.
However the email never shows up, and MailGun doesn’t show any attempts to send a message. Sidekiq doesn’t show any new failed jobs. I do have 73 total failures, I’m not sure where they came from, but I had 73 before sending the mail and 73 after.
This is the only method I’ve found in the client to test emails. Is there perhaps a better way?
Edit: To be clear, the only thing I’ve done to set up email is editing my diaspora.yml and restart. Is there anything else I need to do?
