SMTP settings

If you would rather send application email via an SMTP server instead of via Sendmail, add the following configuration information to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure.

Warning: Your smtp_password should not contain any String delimiters used in Ruby or YAML (f.e. ') to avoid unexpected behavior during the processing of config settings.

There are example configurations at the end of this page.

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "smtp.server"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 465
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "smtp user"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "smtp password"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "example.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_openssl_verify_mode'] = 'peer'

# If your SMTP server does not like the default 'From: gitlab@localhost' you
# can change the 'From' with this setting.
gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = '[email protected]'
gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_reply_to'] = '[email protected]'

Example configuration

SMTP on localhost

This configuration, which simply enables SMTP and otherwise uses the default settings, can be used for an MTA running on localhost that does not provide a sendmail interface or that provides a sendmail interface that is incompatible with GitLab, such as Exim.

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true

SMTP without SSL

By default SSL is enabled for SMTP. If your SMTP server do not support communication over SSL use following settings:

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true;
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = 'localhost';
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 25;
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = 'localhost';
gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false;
gitlab_rails['smtp_openssl_verify_mode'] = 'none'
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = false
gitlab_rails['smtp_ssl'] = false
gitlab_rails['smtp_force_ssl'] = false

Gmail

Note: Gmail has strict sending limits that can impair functionality as your organization grows. We strongly recommend using a transactional service like SendGrid or Mailgun for teams using SMTP configuration.

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "smtp.gmail.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 587
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "[email protected]"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "my-gmail-password"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "smtp.gmail.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false
gitlab_rails['smtp_openssl_verify_mode'] = 'peer' # Can be: 'none', 'peer', 'client_once', 'fail_if_no_peer_cert', see http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html

Don't forget to change [email protected] to your email address and my-gmail-password to your own password.

If you encounter authentication errors, ensure you have allowed less secure apps to access the account or try turning on 2-step validation and using an application password.

Testing the SMTP configuration

You can verify GitLab's ability to send emails properly using the Rails console. On the GitLab server, execute gitlab-rails console to enter the console. Then, you can enter the following command at the console prompt to cause GitLab to send a test email:

irb(main):003:0> Notify.test_email('[email protected]', 'Message Subject', 'Message Body').deliver_now
