My config :

gitlab_rails[‘smtp_address’] = “mail.mydomain.com
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_port’] = “25”
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_user_name’] = “emailofserviceuser@mydomain.com
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_password’] = “mypassword”
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_domain’] = “mydomain.com
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_authentication’] = “login” #login pour login, plain pour sans authentification
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_enable_starttls_auto’] = true

Please help me

I configured ;
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_enable’] = true
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_address’] = “mail.mydomain.com
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_port’] = “25”
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_domain’] = “mail.mydomain.com
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_authentication’] = false
gitlab_rails[‘smtp_enable_starttls_auto’] = true
