Issues with emails not verified (thediscussion.site)

Having an issue with logging in on alternate browsers due to email isn't verified. Would it be okay to export the database, manually make the change and then re-import it? Or could I connect to the database from a program on my computer to make the changes?

I ended up turning that off since I'm hosting in my house and the email server won't connect to Gmail for me to confirm my email. So no email validation requirement for me.

how do you disable that?

[–] wizjenkins@lemmy.wizjenkins.com 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's in the site settings (cog wheel icon next to the search button) under the application questionnaire text box.

thanks, any idea if properly configured if Lemmy knows how to send smtp based email?

Yes. You can use an existing SMTP server (gmail [legacy app mode], yahoo, microsoft, etc). One thing to keep in mind -- if you decide to go that route don't use your personal account because the address might be exposed in the mail headers. Create a dedicated account and use that instead.

lemmy.hjson

email: {
    smtp_server: "smtp.example.tld:[port]" # port 25, port 587, etc
    smtp_login: "username"
    smtp_password: "password"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@example.tld" # or account_just_created@example.tld
    tls_type: "tls" # or starttls
}

No idea. I've been playing with it all night but so far I haven't managed to get the postfix-relay docker container to connect and send an email.

Have you configured OpenDKIM correctly? This tutorial might give you an idea or two. Gmail won't relay mail unless its signed by your domain.
