Sending mail gives me "Can't send email!" (504 5.7.4)

[RhoAndB]

I try to setup Exchange-Online SMTP for sending mail through it. Therefor i've set following settings in config.json:

• email_sender: email@domain.com
• email_host: smtp.office365.com
• email_port: 587
• email_username: email@domain.com
• email_password: xxxx
• email_secure: true

When an email is sent, following error is shown in semaphore:

When i run semaphore with "semaphore server --config /etc/semaphore/config.json" i get following output:
ERRO[0039] 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type [VI1PR0902CA0058.eurprd09.prod.outlook.com]

Maybe there is a problem with starttls?

I have the same behavior. Did you manage to find a workaround?

I have the same behavior. Did you manage to find a workaround?

i haven't heard anything until now from the developer. i'm using this tool just for test-cases but because of this problem/missing mailfeature i'm searching for another alternative solution.

Hi @RhoAndB, @lucmot

Working on it, will be fixed soon. Stay with us ;)

[tovoro]

Any news here? This is a showstopper for me too..

[tovoro]

For me, the error message is:
PANI[0021] 451 5.7.3 STARTTLS is required to send mail [ZR0P278CA0062.CHEP278.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM] error="Can't send email!"

[luca-motterle-ICE]

@tovoro it doesn't work for me too, but you can handle it at the playbook level with a task

• name: sending detailed report to sysadmin@iceservices.com
  mail:
  host: "smtp"
  port: 587
  username: ""
  password: ""
  from: ""
  to: ""
  subject: ""
  body: ""
  secure: starttls

[tovoro]

Yeah, thats a workaround but not really a good one. I now use our smtp relay with port 25 and no starttls which works but not a long term solution.
I checked and it seems that theres a fix in the latest tag, but no release for it? I have no idea how to compile the latest tag to a binary to use this one and check if it works... whats going on with the releases?

Fixed in v2.8.57: https://github.com/ansible-semaphore/semaphore/releases/tag/v2.8.67
