Replying to jayunit100@gmail.com:
Hi Guys : Ive searched many forums and have not found
a way to get gmail to work.
Probably not the MailingList archive, as this topic has already been answered a couple of time.
Also, please re-read the instruction about how to report a "bug": you did not fill the version field, you did not fill the compoment field.
Please also use verbatim blocks ({{{ ... }}})) for pasting your config file and preview your ticket before submitting it.
Ive posted my config code at the bottom, and am reporting this as a trac bug because trac hangs for SMTP failures of certain types…
Did you use a real GMail account (i.e. have you obfuscated the smtp_user parameter with name@…)?
This IS a bug in trac, because
the ticketing system actually freezes and does not respond if
notification fails.
No, this works as expected: SMTP transmission is synchronous with the web request.
Even if gmail servers are not configured for SMTP correctly, I still believe this is a serious trac flaw, since no immediate response is recieved from the trac server, and since there is also the possibility that no logging is done regarding SMTP connections.
Agreed, the SMTP connection errors are hard to debug (I believe this enhancement has already been requested)
Feel free to re-open the ticket if you can provide the required info (Trac version, user name information, …)
