Hello everyone, I can’t make my phoenix application send emails using postfix installed on the same VPS.
The result of command
postconf -n
looks like this:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
compatibility_level = 2
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
inet_protocols = all
mailbox_size_limit = 0
milter_default_action = accept
milter_protocol = 6
mydestination =
myhostname = mytestdomain.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
myorigin = /etc/mailname
non_smtpd_milters = $smtpd_milters
readme_directory = no
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost =
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
smtpd_milters = local:/opendkim/opendkim.sock
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

When I give the command to send email in the console like this:
echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "This is the subject" mymailaddress@gmail.com
I get the email in my mailbox, everything works as expected, I also see the postfix work by looking into it’s log:
sudo tail -f /var/log/mail.log

But emails from my phoenix application are not sent, there is nothing in the postfix log and nothing in my mailbox. My config looks like this:

# Configures the mailer
config :jp, JpWeb.Mailer,
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP,
  relay: "mytestdomain.com",
  ssl: false,
  tls: :always,
  port: 1025,
  retries: 2,
  no_mx_lookup: false

I tried with ssl: true first but then I found the topic on this forum where it was recommended to set it to false, so I did it but it didn’t help. Also I tried to set port to 25 but with no result.
The email is sent like this:
JpWeb.SpecialistRequestEmail.specialist_request_email(id, url, email, phone, name) |> JpWeb.Mailer.deliver
and the function specialist_request_email looks like this:

defmodule JpWeb.SpecialistRequestEmail do
  import Swoosh.Email

  def specialist_request_email(specialist_id, url, email, phone, name) do
    new()
    |> to({"MyTestDomain administrator", "testuser@gmail.com"})
    |> from({"Notifications system", "notifications@mytestdomain.com"})
    |> subject("New specialist request")
    |> html_body("<h1>Specialist request details</h1><div>Name: #{name}</div><div>Phone: #{phone}</div><div>E-mail: #{email}</div><div><a href=\"#{url}\">Specialist ##{specialist_id}#</a></div>")
    |> text_body("Specialist request details\nName: #{name}, Phone: #{phone}, E-mail: #{email}, Specialist Id: #{specialist_id}, Link: #{url}")
  end
end

In my mix.exs file I added dependencies:

      {:swoosh, "~> 0.23"},
      {:gen_smtp, "~> 0.13"},

And added them to extra_applications (should I?):

  def application do
    [
      mod: {Jp.Application, []},
      extra_applications: [:swoosh, :gen_smtp]
    ]
  end

What do I miss?

what following

JpWeb.SpecialistRequestEmail.specialist_request_email(id, url, email, phone, name)
|> JpWeb.Mailer.deliver
|> IO.inspect

gives?

{:error, {:retries_exceeded, {:network_failure, ‘mytestdomain.com’, {:error, :econnrefused}}}}

The problem is not with elixir or swoosh. You need to configure your infrastructure correctly.

Firstly, make sure you have a correct DNS resolution: nslookup mytestdomain.com, secondary check that you have opened port 1025 on that IP address - telnet mytestdomain.com 1025

igor

igor OP

nslookup mytestdomain.com

Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   mytestdomain.com
Address: 127.0.1.1

telnet mytestdomain.com 1025
Trying 127.0.1.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
telnet mytestdomain.com 25
Trying 127.0.1.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I have ufw installed and it’s status:

sudo ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
OpenSSH                    ALLOW       Anywhere
Nginx Full                 ALLOW       Anywhere

Nginx Full (v6)            ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

All this postfix configuration is new to me, can you tell me what port is it listening 1025 or 25 (or other)? There is no such line in the /etc/postfix/main.cf

127.0.1.1 usually is your local computer, connected via the loopback interface. Are you sure you have started and configured an SMTP deamon?

Does something listen on port 1025? netstat -lnpt should shed some light.

try to change your config to:

config :jp, JpWeb.Mailer,
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP,
  relay: "mytestdomain.com",
  ssl: false,
  tls: :always,
  port: 25, # <-----
  retries: 2,
  no_mx_lookup: false

Also you need to allow loopback in ufw - I don’t know how to do it in ufw. Something like this.

UPD Or just disable it for testing for a while

NobbZ

NobbZ

It’s bound ::1, not to 127.0.1.1, it won’t accept connections to the latter, target IP has to be corrected as well then.

alexiss

alexiss

Ah, yes - looks like DNS gives incorrect 127.0.1.1 - it should resolve mytestdomain.com to 127.0.0.1.

@igor give as output of cat /etc/hosts

Or if you configure mytestdomain.com zone on this server - correct the IP to 127.0.0.1
