email?

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Hi,

Couple of things to check:

1) Make sure DNS and DG are set correct in the interface settings (otherwise you have no internet access)
2) Enable https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps on your gmail account (otherwise mail from machines is blocked by google)
3) Use these settings in the common functions:

Code:

-- send an e-mail
function mail(to, subject, message)
  -- make sure these settings are correct
  local settings = {
    -- "from" field, only e-mail must be specified here
    from = 'yourmail@gmail.com',
    -- smtp username
    user = 'yourmail@gmail.com',
    -- smtp password
    password = 'yoursecretpassword',
    -- smtp server
    server = 'smtp.gmail.com',
    -- smtp server port
    port = 465,
    -- enable tls, required for gmail smtp
    secure = 'tlsv1_2',
  }

  local smtp = require('socket.smtp')

  if type(to) ~= 'table' then
    to = { to }
  end

  for index, email in ipairs(to) do
    to[ index ] = '<' .. tostring(email) .. '>'
  end

  -- fixup from field
  local from = '<' .. tostring(settings.from) .. '>'

  -- message headers and body
  settings.source = smtp.message({
    headers = {
      to = table.concat(to, ', '),
      subject = subject,
      ['From'] = from,
      ['Content-type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8',
    },
    body = message
  })

  settings.from = from
  settings.rcpt = to
  res, err = smtp.send(settings)
  return res,err
end

4) Send a mail

Code:

subject = 'E-mail test'
message = 'Testing e-mail'
res, err = mail('yourrecipient@gmail.com', subject, message)
