Emails aren't being sent when announcer plugin is installed

[anonymous]

When I change [notification] to [announcer] in trac.ini I stop receiving email notifications. Here are my trac.ini settings:

[notification] always_notify_owner = true always_notify_reporter = false always_notify_updater = false mime_encoding = base64 smtp_always_bcc = smtp_always_cc = smtp_default_domain = episodic.com smtp_enabled = true smtp_from = internal@… smtp_password = * smtp_port = 25 smtp_replyto = internal@… smtp_server = smtp.gmail.com smtp_subject_prefix = [TRAC] smtp_user = internal@… use_public_cc = false use_short_addr = false use_tls = true

[components] advancedworkflow.* = enabled announcerplugin.api.announcementsystem = enabled announcerplugin.distributors.email_distributor.emaildistributor = enabled announcerplugin.formatters.ticket_email.ticketemailformatter = enabled announcerplugin.pref.announcerpreferences = enabled announcerplugin.producers.attachment.attachmentchangeproducer = enabled announcerplugin.producers.ticket.ticketchangeproducer = enabled announcerplugin.producers.wiki.wikichangeproducer = enabled announcerplugin.resolvers.defaultdomain.defaultdomainemailresolver = enabled announcerplugin.resolvers.sessionemail.sessionemailresolver = disabled announcerplugin.subscribers.ticket_compat.carboncopysubscriber = enabled announcerplugin.subscribers.ticket_compat.legacyticketsubscriber = enabled

Can you send email through gmail's smtp server using your episodic.com user/pass?

[nlovinsky@…]

I can. Typical email notifications work just fine. As soon as I turn on announcer, things stop working.

It would seem if the server requires TLS that AnnouncePlugin is still trying normal SMTP AUTH rather than issuing a STARTTLS? I'm trying to use AnnouncePlugin with Gmail and am getting "SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server." ... which is kinda true, since it requires STARTTLS.

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida]

I just attached a patch to #3560 that fixes the "SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server." issue. It might fix this issue for the original reporter as well.
