Setting up mailer

[Loknath-Das]

Problem statement

I want to be able to setup mailer for my current setup as we are using CISO as our GRC, and I'm running CISO using docker compose, and I have read the documentation but as of right now I can't seem to have much clarity about how to achieve this. I have tried setting up the env variables in ".bashrc" file. But nothing seems to be working. Would really appreciate if I get the steps to set this up and running.

Hello @Loknath-Das
Basically the env variables need to be passed to the backend service, so you'll do that on the compose file, not the .bashrc. This thread on Discord should help:

Let me know if it covers your need.

Is there a way to test if the configuration is working?

I'm following the logs of the backend container, but can't see any error or message related to sending mail.
For example, when a new user is created I suppose an mail will be send to the new user, but nothing happen. Not sure is a email sending error, or it does not send an email anyway.

Hi @githubedu,

Normally you should see a toast to warn you if the user was created and the mail was not sent correctly. If you don't get it, there should be a problem with the mailing configuration.
