Unable to invite new admin users to account without mailgun setup?

Using Ghost
4

The configuration options in the documentation above only state:

  • Configuring with Mailgun
  • Amazon SES

You don’t necessarily need Mailgun as a mail provider to invite any new staff …

I miss a simple SMTP configuration.
It would be good to specify this as well in the documentation:

...
"mail": {
  "transport": "SMTP",
  "from": "website@domain.com",
  "options": {
    "host": "mail.domain.com",
    "port": 587,
    "auth": {
      "user": "user@domain.com",
      "pass": "1234"
    }
  }
},
...

"from" entry is important, otherwise it won’t work.

There are other options:

  • secure - if true the connection will use TLS when connecting to server. If false (the default) then TLS is used if server supports the STARTTLS extension
  • pool - set to true to use pooled connections (defaults to false) instead of creating a new connection for every email
  • …
