Meteor v1 with MailGun gives a 500 error on email dispatch. See this minimal client/server code:
Template.Main.events({
'click .trigger': evt => {
evt.preventDefault();
const recipient = document.getElementById('userEmail').value;
Meteor.call('dispatchMail', recipient, '[email protected]', 'Quote Request', 'Test email.');
}
});
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.methods({
dispatchMail(to, from, title, content) {
Email.send({ to, from, subject: title, text: content });
}
});
}
How can I resolve this error?
hey, i faced a sim issue. try chk your env settngs for mailgun api keys. misconfig can cause 500 errors. also enusre meteor email package is properly installed n configed.
Check that your Mailgun configuration is correctly integrated with your Meteor environment. I encountered a similar issue where a slight mismatch in the configured domain and actual settings caused a 500 error. Reviewing the email package documentation helped me identify that even minor misconfigurations, such as API key or domain errors, can lead to failures, especially when error handling is not set up to provide detailed logs. I resolved it by double-checking all the credential details and updating the settings accordingly to ensure they match the Mailgun values.
I encountered a similar issue previously, and it turned out that the configuration of the environment variable MAIL_URL was the culprit. I had overlooked setting it up correctly in my deployment configuration, which means no proper connection details are provided to the Email package. It is vital to ensure that the MAIL_URL is set with the full smtp:// protocol, including correct credentials and server host. Also, I noticed that occasionally firewall settings might block outbound email connections. Ensuring these details are in order resolved the error for me.
