Hi,

I've upgraded to Appwrite 1.5.2, and want to try out Appwrite Messaging with my SMTP server. I've tried Gmail SMTP relay and Mailersend.com, but both give me SMTP connect() failed. Which is kinda weird, because if I use the same credentials in the project settings in the SMTP tab, Appwrite sends out confirmation and sign-up emails just fine.

How can I debug this?

Kind regards,

Bas

TL;DR
Developers experiencing SMTP connection failures while using Appwrite Messaging with Gmail SMTP relay and Mailersend. SMTP settings are correct in environment variables and Project settings but still encountering the error. Requesting help with debugging. Solution: Verify that the SMTP server information is correctly set up in the server .env file and not just in Project settings.

Is SMTP set up in the server .env, or just in the Project settings?

in three locations, the environment variables (which work, Appwrite is sending out emails to admins), the project SMTP tab (which works, Appwrite is sending out emails to site user signups and such), and in Appwrite Messaging, which doesn't work with the error SMTP connect() failed. All settings are the same server, same credentials and same TLS settings. I've tried both Gmail and Mailersend, all works except Appwrite Messaging.

Any chance you can test without tls?
