Test Email Fails

[celsius-233]

Hello,

I tried to test the email setup and it failed. I'm using an smtp server backend from Proton that I'm successfully using with a Keycloak install, but it fails with a timeout in Authentik. There's one difference. In Keycloak I used "StartTLS", but only a "TLS" option exists in Authentik. I'm not sure if that would make the difference, so any advice on how to triage the issue or configuration would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

One more thing I should add. The setup in Keycloak just uses the username/password with no cert. Is this not supported in Authentik?

Ok. I figured out the issue after digging through the logs. Looks like there is a validation check where the from email must match the email of the smtp account you are using to send. In short, the login for the smtp endpoint (which is the email you are using to send) must match the email "from" setting. Keycloak doesn't require that. If that's the case, maybe there should just be one field for the smtp login and not allowing the user to set the "from" field.

I can't find the error log anymore. It seems like it disappeared when I reconfigured Authentik, so I can't post the exact message that led me down the path to fixing it. That's strange.
