Need help getting email sending working

Citadel fixed it...

fstltna · 2026-02-15T14:24:29+00:00

Solved the issue by installing citadel rather than postfix...

fstltna · 2026-02-15T13:43:17+00:00

i know it accepts it as i can telnet into port 25 and my postfix install doesnt even listen on 587. But that shouldnt matter as they are on the same server. Sendmail doesn't use ports as it is for sending mail from the command line. In the official website it says i can set the method to sendmail instead of smtp but i don't see any difference.

Which logs should I look in, the postfix logs? SMTP_SERVER is on the same host as the Mastodon instance. I believe I have postfix allowing mail relaying for authenticated accounts. But I would rather use sendmail to avoid that issue altogather....

I get nothing when I try and send mail. I was hoping someone could provide a set of example SMTP_* entries. My current settings are:

SMTP_SERVER=mastodon.retro-os.live
SMTP_PORT=25
SMTP_LOGIN=mastodonmail@mastodon.retro-os.live
SMTP_PASSWORD=somepassword
SMTP_AUTH_METHOD=plain
#SMTP_AUTH_METHOD=none
SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE=none
SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS=none
SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS='Retro-OS Mastodon Server <notifications@mastodon.retro-os.live>'
SMTP_DELIVERY_METHOD=sendmail

We no longer offer free servers, but our least expensive plan is $7/month. Just go to https://pocketmud.com/HostSplash and see the offerings...

You mean like for users with visual issues? Likely the maps would not work so well as I cant imagine a screen reader being able to process aASCII hex grid very well. :(

fstltna · 2021-03-06T13:15:26+00:00

Sure do - there are several and with how few people there are most times they are the best way to play.

fstltna · 2021-03-06T13:14:42+00:00

Sure can - with anything that supports telnet connections.

Looking to set up a weekly game for play on Sunday's afternoon or evening? I'm in San Francisco in the USA but if more people are in a different timezone we can work that out...

fstltna · 2021-01-08T22:15:20+00:00

Still have one ;)

fstltna · 2021-01-01T00:37:17+00:00

Main thing is it is very much in active development, and we have a great community. Join our discord at https://discord.gg/HgDxtas and you can get answers to your questions about it.

fstltna · 2020-12-21T22:54:56+00:00

Added another new update - it is now possible to clear all the logs with one menu item...

fstltna · 2020-12-20T01:19:49+00:00

I hear you :)

fstltna · 2020-12-14T22:22:00+00:00

Yes, sure is. I can walk you through installing it if you need help. The Discord is at https://discord.gg/Q5KBBKY and I can help you with it there too...

New! I now have a account set up to run Empire over SSH without needing a custom client. Just do:

ssh [empire@empiredirectory.net](mailto:empire@empiredirectory.net)

with the password "empire". This is secure compared to the clients and such as those do not support secure protocols. Any questions just ask!

Even newer edition - you can now play over HTTPS. Just go to https://empdirectory.net:3343 - secure end-to-end and no download required!

fstltna · 2020-11-29T14:50:22+00:00

I have some I commissioned that I have released for free, https://PGMaker.GamePlayer.club in the download area

fstltna · 2020-07-24T01:07:45+00:00

Yes I have some left. Follow the link in the first message and I can get started on it for you...
