General

Hi,
Ive configured smtp by following SMTP settings | GitLab.

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "email-smtp.myzone.amazonaws.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 587
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "MyUserName"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "MyPassword"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "noreply@mydomain.in"
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true

but when I try

My gitlab domain is ‘.com’ and my smtp domain is ‘.in’

this same config on other apps works fine.

Hi,

Try setting:

gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = 'gitlab@mydomain.in'

if not using this field, it defaults to as you see gitlab@gitlab.mydomain.in which is the name of your Gitlab server. If your mail server is not configured to process emails for gitlab.mydomain.in it fails like you saw.
