I created a new account from mailgun and use it for Redash, but failed as below when I ran “docker-compose run --rm server manage send_test_mail”. Anyone running into the similar issue? Thanks for advice in advance.

Looks like some DNS issue. Are you sure your container can access external networks?

Thanks for advice. inside container fo redash_server_1, I was successfully able to send out an email via mailgun using cURL. Any other idea? Can you take a look at my env file to see if there is any incorrect config? Thanks.

Using curl and their http API?

I tried sending an email on the host running docker containers using both API and python send_email script. Both succeeded, but stil failed with “”.

Here is Python script I ran on the host. FYI, sone private info is masked on purpose.

import smtplib
def send_email(mail_user, mail_password, mail_recipient, subject, body):
FROM = mail_user
TO = mail_recipient if type(mail_recipient) is list else [mail_recipient]
SUBJECT = subject
TEXT = body

# Prepare actual message
message = """From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n%s
""" % (FROM, ", ".join(TO), SUBJECT, TEXT)
try:
    # server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.mailgun.org", 465)
    # server.ehlo()

    server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.mailgun.org", 587)
    server.ehlo()
    server.starttls()
    server.login(mail_user, mail_password)
    server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
    server.close()
    return 'successfully sent the mail'
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
    return "failed to send mail"

if name == “main”:
print(“hello”)
print(send_email(‘no-reply@k8XX.k1ong.com’,‘XXXX’,‘junXXXXX@gmail.com’,‘test in XXX’,‘hi Jun,’))

Here is the config of env

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=0
REDASH_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
REDASH_REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=kdZ5lV7xTo7ulPfXXXXX
REDASH_COOKIE_SECRET=iQgLv0vCNhmPxvWzdSXXXXX
REDASH_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:kdZ5lV7xTo7ulPXXXX@postgres/postgres
REDASH_HOST=“sXe-.XXXX.com”

REDASH_MAIL_SERVER=“smtp.mailgun.org
REDASH_MAIL_PORT=587
REDASH_MAIL_USE_TLS=“true”
REDASH_MAIL_USE_SSL=“false”
REDASH_MAIL_USERNAME="no-reply@k8XX.k1ong.com"
REDASH_MAIL_PASSWORD=“XXXX”
REDASH_MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER="no-reply@k8XX.k1ong.com"

Any comment would be appreciated.

another is info .

REDASH_HOST would be resolved to private IP. Should I specify shared public IO explicitly if it causes any issue?

Did you try running same script in the Docker container?

The Docker container runs with different network configuration, so the fact it works on the host doesn’t mean it will work in the container.

I’m having this exact issue. I’m running a VM in Google Compute Engine. Used the setup guide to import the official image. Here’s the command I ran and its output:

And here’s what my env settings look like:

I see the note about trying the script with the docker. Not sure exactly how that would be different or how I’d do that exactly. I’m guessing this might have something to do with firewall settings, but I don’t really know for sure on that.

Any ideas on how to resolve this error would be appreciated.

sorry. I am still facing the same issue.

I gotta figure this out because I would really like to get mailgun to work. It’s almost certainly a DNS issue, but since there’s no documentation on how the DNS is setup in the container it’s hard for me to troubleshoot. And I’ve had trouble getting the containers to actually startup if I try to do any modifcations with docker run.

Removing all double quotes in the env setting file works for me somehow

This solved the issue for me as well. Removed all mail settings from docker-compose.xml and moved into env file, with no quotes.
