This module allows to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers using the server_environment mechanism: you can then have different mail servers for the production and the test environment.
Table of contents
To install this module, you need to have the server_environment module installed and properly configured.
With this module installed, the incoming and outgoing mail servers are configured in the server_environment_files module (which is a module you should provide, see the documentation of server_environment for more information).
In the configuration file of each environment, you may first use the sections [outgoing_mail] and [incoming_mail] to configure the default values respectively for SMTP servers and the IMAP/POP servers.
Then for each server, you can define additional values or override the default values with a section named [outgoing_mail.resource_name] or [incoming_mail.resource_name] where “resource_name” is the name of the server.
Example of config file
[outgoing_mail] smtp_host = smtp.myserver.com smtp_port = 587 smtp_user = smtp_pass = smtp_encryption = ssl [outgoing_mail.odoo_smtp_server1] smtp_user = odoo smtp_pass = odoo [incoming_mail.odoo_pop_mail1] server = mail.myserver.com port = 110 type = pop is_ssl = 0 attach = 0 original = 0 user = odoo@myserver.com password = uas1ohV0
You will need to create 2 records in the database, one outgoing mail server with the field name set to “odoo_smtp_server1” and one incoming mail server with the field name set to “odoo_pop_mail1”.
It is possible to use a SSL certificate for SMTP authentication. In this case, you need to set the following entries in the configuration entry
smtp_authentication = certificate smtp_ssl_certificate = <base64 encoded certificate> smtp_ssl_private_key = <base64 encoded certificate>
Once configured, Odoo will read the mail servers values from the configuration file related to each environment defined in the main Odoo file.
