Foreman 1.14 release highlight - email settings/configuration
Channel: Foreman
Date: 23/12/2016

In Foreman 1.14, email settings have moved from a configuration file into the settings user interface.

Go to Administer, Settings, then the Email tab to change the delivery method or configuration, or use the API or Hammer CLI "settings" command.

Clicking "Test email" will send a single email to the email address set on your user account.

Changing any of the settings will have an immediate effect, and if a message fails to send, the UI will show an error. Check /var/log/foreman/production.log for further details.

If email.yaml is present from an upgrade, the file will take predence over the UI (until 1.16), but if you delete or move it, settings will be managed here.
