532933 - Users can't create Verbatim accounts due to SMTP misconfiguration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Verbatim, defect)

Description

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Whenever someone tries to create non-LDAP account we have to send him registration email. This currently doesn't work:

SMTPSenderRefused: (553, '5.5.4 <webmaster@localhost>... Real domain name required for sender address', 'webmaster@localhost')

Chizu, can you take a look?

Added our generic webapp sendmail config. It should have valid headers now.

Unfortunately, registering account still results in error 503

The account is created, only authorization email cannot be sent.

Do you have a place in the application where you set the sender address?  The error you're getting isn't something you could get from the sendmail command line submission, so it looks like the app is doing direct SMTP to localhost or something.  If that's the case, the sender address would be supplied by the application, and sendmail's defaults wouldn't come into play.

yea, it seems that the email config is commented out. Chizu, where did you config email? I symlinked /data/www/*/localsettings.py to /etc/pootle/localsettings.py cause that's where its being pooled from.

Could you feed that file with the right settings? thnx

It just connects to localhost and sends as [e-mail] now. Registration is working, so closing this. There might be a better address to use than that but it works.
