How to config the SMTP setting to send email with a LAN environment?

[Fish Zheng]

Hi, GitLaber

This is a newbie for gitlab.
After I installed one gitlab-ce-7.10.1 on Ubuntu-14.04, it cannot send the
account confirmation email to me.


My SMTP server have no authentication support. and I tried these two
authentication method: "login" and "plain".
Is there others auth method? How can I configure SMTP in the
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb to send email?


Here is my /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb snppet:

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "mail.company.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 25
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "***@company.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "MyPassword"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "mail.company.com"
##504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type
#gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
##504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "plain"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = false
gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false
gitlab_rails['smtp_openssl_verify_mode'] = 'none'

PS:
The error information -- 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type

It is captured using tshark command : tshark -nxi eth0 -s0 tcp port 25

Hi Fish. I'm sorry to hear that you're having an error.

Here's how to test your email delivery. You could try
this: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#emails-are-not-being-delivered

Hi, Karen

Thanks for your time.
With this instruction:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24189079/gitlab-wont-send-email-omnibus-gitlab-centos-6-5
Now my gitlab works.

The key setting options is:

#gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "" Commented
out!#gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "" Commented
out!gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = false

If I don't comment out the smtp_user_name + smtp_password, it will
trigger/enable the authentication.

Regards!
