Bonobo Git Server SMTP Settings

I have Bonobo Git Server version 3.6 installed on my Win 7 PC. Today, I tried on forgotten password, but it popup error message saying Unable to send email. Validate SMTP settings..

How & where can I set the SMTP settings?

Solution

  • Bonobo uses standard .NET smtp settings.

    These can be specified in the web.config for your Bonobo-installation.

    You can read the details here , but basically you should add a <mailSettings> group under configuration\system.net

    The following is a working albeit simple example. It is possible to use any smtp server and as you can read in the link, it is also possible to provide a variety of security settings. 

    <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
        <smtp deliveryMethod="network" from="[email protected]">
            <network 
                host="accessible.smtp.host"
                port="25"
                />
        </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
</system.net>
