I'm struggling to get Aurora Files to work with sendmail. I'm sure my sendmail configuration is correct, as I can use :
sendmail -vf FromAddress@mydomain.com ToAddress@mydomain.com and everything works as expected.

The SMTP server that I connect to will only accept from authenticated users. This shouldn't be an issue.

I'm using the online support article to run through the process and nothing is getting sent. I'm pretty sure I've whittled down the issue. On that page, it states
Quote:
Open YOUR_INSTALLATION_ROOT/data/settings/modules/InvitationLinkWebclient.config.json in your favorite text editor.


Well, that file didn't exist on my installation, however YOUR_INSTALLATION_ROOT/data/settings/modules/InvitationLinkWebclient/config.json does exist. Therefore, (1) Can I get confirmation on the correct file to edit?

The rest may be totally dependent on (1) but I've updated both files and am still getting an error as my server attempts to send to the upstream SMTP server and I'm 100% sure it's because it's sending as web-data and not the configured NotificationEmail value. As I watch /var/log/mail.log on my server, I see that when I attempt to send the update link to a user, it's still connecting as web-data and my upstream SMTP server is expecting it from FromAddress@mydomain.com (2) Are there any additional tests that I can run to validate my thoughts?

If it helps, this is my ./modules/InvitationWebclient/config.json


{
        "Disabled": [
               false,
               "bool"
        ],
    "RegisterModuleName": [
               "StandardRegisterFormWebclient",
               "string"
        ],
        "LoginModuleName": [
               "StandardLoginFormWebclient",
               "string"
        ],
        "EnableSendInvitationLinkViaMail": [
               true,
               "bool"
        ],
        "NotificationType": [
               "smtp",
               "string"
        ],
        "NotificationEmail": [
               "FROMADDRESS@MYDOMAIN.COM",
               "string"
        ],
        "NotificationHost": [
               "SMTPSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM",
               "string"
        ],
        "NotificationPort": [
               "587",
               "string"
        ],
        "NotificationUseAuth": [
               true,
               "bool"
        ],
        "NotificationLogin": [
               "SUPERSECUREUSERNAME",
               "string"
        ],
        "NotificationPassword": [
               "SUPERSECUREPASSWORD",
               "string"
        ],
        "SMTPSecure": [
               "",
               "string"
        ]
}
(I wasn't sure if I needed anything in SMTPSecure so have continued to leave it blank)

any thoughts?!

Forgive me, an error on my account and I don't believe I can edit, only delete...

Please note: the modules folder is off of the INSTALLATION_ROOT, not under ./data/settings/modules/...

Hello,

Try pressing "Update configuration" button in "Database Settings" screen of adminpanel. Does the file show up under data/settings/modules directory?

@Igor,
Yes - hitting that button certainly creates the required config files - I've reviewed this and all appears to be working just fine.

One thing that I would like to note / ask: I was under the impression that postfix was required to be functional on the server that Aurora Files is installed on, for the "smtp" (or sendmail) function to work. This doesn't appear to be true, as I've been checking the mail.log and my invites / emails aren't appearing to be going through postfix at all. So - can I safely assume that when configured to use SMTP, the invites connect directly out to the SMTP server in question, without having to relay through a local MTA?

Well yes, when "NotificationType" is set to "smtp", that means Aurora Files will use the relay SMTP server you specify connection details for. So yes, local MTA isn't used unless you've set "NotificationHost" to point to it.
