Bookstack SMTP issue

General Docker
1

Hey there,

I set up bookstack using the docker-compose.yml with traefikv2 as reverse proxy.
Everything works great, the domain points to bookstack, I can create accounts and so on.

I’ve added the mail-config to my .env file but still get the following error.

Connection could not be established with host localhost :stream_socket_client(): Unable to connect to localhost:1025 (Address not available)

My .env-file

# Mail system to use
# Can be 'smtp' or 'sendmail'
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

# Mail sending options
MAIL_FROM=username@domain.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=name

# SMTP mail options
MAIL_HOST=sub.domain.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=username@domain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=STARTTLS

My docker-compose.yml

@hubortje change MAIL_ENCRYPTION=STARTTLS :arrow_right: MAIL_ENCRYPTION=TLS in your .env file. Leave the port on 587
