Setting up email for nodebb -
Editing regressionThis also means that somewhere the edited post, and the corrected post must be stored.
As the corrected post shows when I click edit, and the old post still shows on screen.
How is that even possible? -
Editing regressionHow odd, I just tried to edit that post to correct spelling of italics
It shows corrected in edit mode, but it keeps showing old wrong spelling in the forum
So Edit seems to be broken!? -
Editing regression^^ I typed 1/7 times 1/7 times 1/7 using asterisk, but it changed it to italics.
I get that * makes things italics *However I tried to edit it to replace with 1/7 x 1/7 x 1/7 and it wont replace that text now, how odd!!

All about emails and how they're used in NodeBBI'll admit the email verification flow is janky, but it's the best we've got if you want to support some form of out-of-band password reset.
Ok, Ive given this password reset a lot of thought. I didn't know the term 'out-of-band' but this is an idea along lines of alternative method which doesnt rely on email
So background, lets say my forum
- Contains no sensitive information, so not a terrible issue if a password recovery was hacked. So an easy reset password reset method wouldnt be a risk
- it has infrequent posters. The amount of password reset requests was huge. People were re-registering
So solution could be Admins could allow users to opt into an easy click on picture reset (if they wanted the option)
Method, you can try this a maximum of say, once per month
Click your favourite:
Film: Comedy, Horror, Drama, Historical, Nature, Crime
Fruit: Apple, Banana, Pear, Orange, Coconut, Grape, Pineapple
Color: Red, Blue, Green, yellow, brown, Black, WhiteIf the correct choices are clicked then you can reset password there and then
Probability of random hack 1/7 ^ 3 so less than 0.3%Im sure there must be a name for this type of reset method, its a kind of variant of answering 3 memorable questions, but less to recall.
if the words are accompanied by pictures most people remember the 3 items they chose -

Setting up email for nodebb@julian said in Setting up email for nodebb:
Could be you need proper DKIM and SPF records.
Could also be missing the
AAA
record if the server is sending as ipv6. This is definitely the case with Gmail. -
Setting up email for nodebbNodebb doesnt report email is sent
This is where I am confused. If I used a hotmail, or gmail even instead, do I need to reach out to their support too?
Can you just say a little more on what DKIM and SPF are? -
Replacing header/user image with something elseIn fact, what we want to do is to embed a grafana dashboard into that section to show data from another app that we have for the user. Grafana was using iframe but this latest update changes that to an API.

Setting up email for nodebbIts been a while since I tried getting the email working (which sends out confirmation links, password resets etc)
So I retried ...
put in my Zoho email and its password in the Admin - settings - email, but nothing gets sent out. (Ive put an example email in for this screenshot)
Is there something else I need to do Zoho end to let Nodebb send emails?
