Redmine in Mandriva Linux -- setting up e-mail notifications

I use BitNami Redmine Stack in Mandriva Linux. Attempting send e-mail notification leads to the error- message -

(503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled )

Redmine configuration file configuration.yml:

production:
  email_delivery:
     delivery_method: :smtp
     smtp_settings:
       enable_starttls_auto: true
       address: ...ip...
       port: 25
       domain: redmine@....
       authentication: :plain
       user_name: ....
       password: ...

What is configured wrong?

I changed the configuration a bit later:

 production:
  email_delivery:
     delivery_method: :smtp
     smtp_settings:
       tls: true
       address: ...ip smtp..
       port: 25
       domain: ...
       authentication: :plain
       user_name: ...
       password: ...

I added tls: true and now the error is -

(SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol)

There is a documentation - http://wiki.bitnami.org/Applications/BitNami_Redmine I've added openssl_verify_mode: 'none' and removed tls: true, then the original error message returned.

That "503 5.5.1" error is from your mail server, saying that it does not have SMTP authentication enabled. You have configured Redmine to use SMTP authentication, by including these lines:

   authentication: :plain
   user_name: ....
   password: ...

I believe you can change the ":plain" to ":none" to tell Redmine not to use authentication. http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration

Another alternative is to configure your mail server to require authentication, see for example the following note on where to find that setting in the postfix mail server: http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/9506.

One last alternative, if you have a working local sendmail/mta, is to use that instead of SMTP. There's an example of this in the first link above.
