I have set up a Gerrit server and trying to make it send emails (for all events). But for some reason Gerrit doesn't send any emails. error_logs shows absolutely no data, that means it is not even trying to send emails.
Here is relevant part of my project.config for All-Projects:
[notify "demo"]
email = me#company.com
type = all
Here is my gerrit.config:
[gerrit]
basePath = git
canonicalWebUrl = http://hostname:8443/
[database]
type = h2
database = db/ReviewDB
connectionPool = true
poolLimit = 128
[index]
type = LUCENE
[auth]
type = LDAP
[ldap]
poolDebug = all
server = ldap://nod.company.com
accountBase = cn=users,dc=company,dc=com
accountEmailAddress = mail
referral = follow
[sendemail]
smtpServer = relay.company.com
smtpServerPort = 25
smtpUser = my_username
[container]
user = gerrit2
javaHome = /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
heapLimit = 2g
[sshd]
listenAddress = *:29419
maxConnectionPerUser = 256
[automerge]
botEmail = me#company.com
[download]
scheme = ssh
[httpd]
listenUrl = http://*:8443/
maxThreads = 128
[cache]
directory = cache
[gitweb]
cgi = /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi
Environment: Ubuntu 14.04 and Gerrit 2.11.6.
I have tried to send emails from command line on this server and that works just fine.
All of my individual projects on Gerrit inherit access rights from All-Projects. I even tried adding the email section to each individual project but that didn't help either.
My colleague, who has his own Gerrit server that is able to send emails, looked into my issue and couldn't figure out what's wrong with my server. We both have same Linux version, Gerrit version, gerrit.config and project.config.
Ok, found the issues and fixed them. I had two issues, sharing for user reference.
I installed sendmail utility when logged in as a user other than smtpUser account mentioned in gerrit.config. After that I forgot to add the sendmail utility to /opt and hence the smtpUser's account from gerrit.config was not able to access the sendmail utility. Once I shared the sendmail utility with all user accounts, gerrit started sending emails.
To summarize, make sure the user account mentioned under smtpUser has sendmail available to it. Thanks everyone for your time.
gerrit wont send the email ONLY to the user that is also the smtpUser in gerrit.config. I was testing it by sending emails to only me, and hence it didnt work. I had to change to project config to add an email address other than my own email account.
I dont know if this is a gerrit bug or a gerrit feature. If a feature then not sure what is the use case for this !!
I hope this info helps other guys out there.
I had this problem after a recent Gerrit update (from 2.15 -> 3.2).
I checked the postfix logs in /var/log/maillog and they clearly showed that after the machine was rebooted following the Gerrit update no more mails arrived here.
Looking further into <gerrit-path>/logs/error_log (I had to look in rollated files) showed me that there seemed to be a problem with our mail template and also gave me the path to the offending file.
We previously used a custom mail template from https://gist.github.com/orgads/d8a61a1c10efeb7a4fafbcb6374167c3, the format of which seems to no longer be valid. I replaced this with the .soy.example file provided by Gerrit which fixed the issue.
For me, since I was trying to test emails by getting them to send to my own email, I had to go to settings (Gerrit 2.15.17 BTW), then preferences, under email notifications, select "every comment" in the dropdown menu.

I have edited gerrits config file with the required SMTP details:
[sendemail]
enable = true
smtpServer = smtp.server.com
smtpServerPort = 25
But the thing is, the details somehow don't work upon gerrit but the same values do work upon Jenkins.
There really isnt helpful documentation out there wrt to Gerrit. I even tried to configure the server side of settings for projects config file with:
[access]
inheritFrom = All-Projects
[submit]
action = inherit
[access "refs/*"]
owner = blah blah blah
[notify "Administrators"]
email = blah#blahblahblah.com
I tried looking into error logs as well but NOTHING. Any pointers would be really helpful for me.
Issue Resolved
The configuration at the gerrit.conf side is just the server side of it.
For the client side, go to Settings -> Notifications.
Set notifications for
-> Project Name: <whichever project you have access to>
-> Branch: master
or any other branch of your choice.
-> Save Changes
Once you have configured the notifications, the subscribed events would be sent to you in the form of emails via Gerrit.
I've setup Jenkins to send emails only to users who broke the build using email-ext plugin, but I'm getting this error:
Not sending mail to unregistered user user#example.com because your SCM claimed this was associated with a user ID ‘John Smith' which your security realm does not recognize; you may need changes in your SCM plugin
I don't really understand what this error means, is the problem in our SCM, or in the email plugin? The emails are taken from the commit history, should I register them somewhere so Jenkins will start working?
For reference, this is the code around the error message in the plugin's source code:
} catch (UsernameNotFoundException x) {
if (SEND_TO_UNKNOWN_USERS) {
listener.getLogger().printf("Warning: %s is not a recognized user, but sending mail anyway%n", userAddress);
} else {
listener.getLogger().printf("Not sending mail to unregistered user %s because your SCM"
........
How do I enable SEND_TO_UNKNOWN_USERS?
The error message is also mentioned in this bug report.
For version V2.61 or above this can be configured via a radio button.
Go to
Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Extended E-mail Notification
and tick the radio button for Allow sending to unregistered users
Edit: If this does not work, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/45353810/492336 for another solution.
OK, after some experiments this is what I found out:
Jenkins takes the email part of the committer (not the author). For example for a commit message that looks like that:
Author: John Smith <author1#example1.com> 2017-07-27 17:15:39
Committer: John Doe <committer1#example2.com> 2017-07-27 17:15:39
Parent: 9c3ff18dda8ca6f7b7ac4ebab4c76d3c85891a33 (commit)
Branch: master
Jenkins will take "committer1", and create a brand new user under People with User ID "committer1" and email "". Unless that user has a password however, it will be considered unregistered so you need to go to Configure for that user and add a password field to it:
So this is one way to fix the error, but you have to do it for every user and in a big team it can be tedious.
Put the line bellow in your jenkins startup script
-Dhudson.tasks.MailSender.SEND_TO_UNKNOWN_USERS=true
The newest Jenkins security directive only allow sending mail to registered user. The line above bypass this configuration.
Given jenkins takes the first part of the email address and creates a user, I made my team have their jenkins user name be the first part of their email address. This removed any overhead of having to maintain two separate users.
Hi i started using osTicket for my helpdesk and i was able to do the Email pipe successfully, but even if the ticket is created, the user receives: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender.
In osTicket it says to change de exim document, but i have WHM and i don't know how to change it.
Can someone tell me how to change the following using the WHM editor
driver = pipe
return_output
driver = pipe
group = "${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/userdomains}{$value}}"
return_output
user = "${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/userdomains}{$value}}"
i need to change the return_output to return_fail_output
Sounds like you need to change your EXIM config file. In WHM, you can go to: Service Configuration -> Exim Configuration and click on 'Advanced Editor' (at the bottom) to have access to it.
I will warn to be careful in there as it may cause issues, but that's where it looks like you'll want to put your rules and such.
i am currently developing a website which requires email verification, but i am developing on windows, and would like to test sending email verifications on localhost. I tried using Test Mail Server Tool, but i don't think i am setting it up correctly because there were no errors, but i didn't receive any email. this is the code i put in my config file
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['mailpath'] = 'C:\Program Files\Toolheap\Test Mail Server Tool\TestMailServerTool.exe';
$config['protocol']= 'smtp';
what am i doing wrong? i am really new to this so i have no idea where to start looking.
i created an email.php and put that in application/config/ so i don't think i need to initialize it?
thanks in advance.
Have you checked whether or not you need to include the following configuration options?
smtp_host
smtp_user
smtp_pass
smtp_port
I have setup a catchall router on exim (used as last router):
catchall:
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
data = ${lookup{*#$domain}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
retry_use_local_part
This works perfectly when sending emails locally. However, if I login to my GMail account and send an email to whatever#mydomain.com, then I get an "Unrouteable Address".
Thank you for any hints to solve this issue.
In the system_aliases: section of the config file you already have a section which does the lookup in /etc/aliases.
Replace
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
with
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*#{/etc/aliases}}
and make sure you have *:catchall_username* in /etc/aliases
This works great for a single domain mail server which is already using /etc/aliases
For this router to work, make sure that
mydomain.com is in local_domains
there is an entry for *#mydomain.com in /etc/aliases
MX record for mydomain.com is pointing to the server, where you've
configured this
This is old as heck, but I didn't see a good answer posted and someone else might want to know the answer.
This post is geared towards Debian with in single configuration file mode. It should work on any Linux Exim4 install though. For the purpose of explaining things we’ll use test#example.com which is configured with the hostname mail.example.com. The system will have a real user called test and we want to create an alias for test called alias. So the end result will all email sent to alias#example.com forwarded to test#example.com without having to create the user alias on the system.
First we need to create a place to store all of the alias files:
mkdir /etc/exim/aliases.d
vim /etc/exim/aliases.d/mail.example.com
contents of the alias file for mail.example.com alias:test
vim /etc/exim/exim4.conf.template
Now look for the section system_aliases. Here you’ll see data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}} or something similar. Change that to
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim4/aliases.d/$domain}}
Save the file and restart exim. The alias should now work. To add support for other domains just add more alias files in the aliases.d directory with the correct hostname.
