Hi,

I am trying to send an e-mail from a Docker container. I have tested this in Katalon Studio and sending e-mails is a breeze, I had no issues on my first try. Now, I am trying to do the same process through a Katalon Docker Image. What i have done is build my own image that extends the KDI since this has to run on AWS ECS. The thing is I am able to run the test, but when it is time to send the e-mail I get the following exception:

System is unable to email report. Reason: org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException: Sending the email to the following server failed : email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:587

When I checked the e-mail settings of the project (in Katalon Studio) I know for a fact that everything is where it should be, authentication data is being encrypted, username and password are correct, and protocol is TLS (as it should be). So I don’t understand. I did some browsing and I believe this has something to do with the fact that it is a Docker image, but I can’t find the solution to my problem.

My machine is a MacBook Pro running macOS 12.1 (Monterey) and it has postfix installed (which was one of the many recommendations I saw). I tried to install sendmail with apt-get install -y sendmail in the container but that failed. I would like for the container to use the host to send mail, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to do that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi there, we are asking for internal support for this issue, we will get back to you with more details. Thank you.

@nk1 Yes. Since I was running from a Docker image, the KDI does not have the capacity to send e-mails. To achieve this, I had to run another docker image for SMTP (I used bytemark/smtp). On the email settings of the test project, I made the host point to the new SMTP docker container which I had running in a Docker Compose. To run in ECS, you can’t run a normal docker compose. While I did use the uploaded images to ECR of both the katalon build (with my test project) and the SMTP server, I had to configure it the Amazon ECR way.
