I am making a meteor app and I have the mrt accounts-password package added as well as mrt accounts-ui-bootstrap-dropdown.
I have added the loginbuttons so users can create an account and that works just fine. I am using all defaults.
On the server I have the code:
Accounts.config({
sendVerificationEmail: true,
forbidClientAccountCreation: false
});
And when I create a new account, the server console prints:
I20130821-18:31:42.105(-4)? ====== BEGIN MAIL #0 ======
I20130821-18:31:42.106(-4)? MIME-Version: 1.0
I20130821-18:31:42.107(-4)? From: "Meteor Accounts" <[email protected]>
I20130821-18:31:42.108(-4)? To: [email protected]

I20130821-18:31:42.109(-4)? Hello,
I20130821-18:31:42.110(-4)? To verify your account email, simply click the link below.
I20130821-18:31:42.110(-4)? http://localhost:3000/#/verify-email/C2vJeaDLeMkkWmcRY
I20130821-18:31:42.111(-4)? Thanks.
I20130821-18:31:42.111(-4)? ====== END MAIL #0 ======
So it looks like it sends the email from the server but I never get the verification email in my inbox. And I tried multiple times and it has been over an hour! I also checked my spam folder. What gives?
Thanks in advance
See here: http://docs.meteor.com/#email
If MAIL_URL is not set (eg, when running your application locally), Email.send outputs the message to standard output instead
Web servers such as Meteor cannot send emails by themselves, they need a SMTP server to do that. You need to set up one and set it with MAIL_URL
variable.
To configure the MAIL_URL
, don't forget to add the core email package:
meteor add email
And then, server-side:
// server/smtp.js
Meteor.startup(function () {
smtp = {
username: 'your_username', // eg: [email protected]
password: 'your_password', // eg: 3eeP1gtizk5eziohfervU
server: 'smtp.gmail.com', // eg: mail.gandi.net
port: 25
}
process.env.MAIL_URL = 'smtp://' + encodeURIComponent(smtp.username) + ':' + encodeURIComponent(smtp.password) + '@' + encodeURIComponent(smtp.server) + ':' + smtp.port;
});
