Email Not Sending in Self-Hosted Typebot using Zoho SMTP
I'm self-hosting Typebot using Docker and trying to configure SMTP with Zoho. Even though SMTP config seems correct and Zoho is reachable, no emails are being sent (no success or error logs either).
How to reproduce it
Set up Typebot using Docker with the following SMTP environment in typebot-builder:
SMTP_USERNAME=lakshminarayanan@youthdreamersfoundation.org
SMTP_PASSWORD=my-passwd
SMTP_HOST=smtp.zoho.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_SECURE=false
NEXT_PUBLIC_SMTP_FROM="YDF Notifications <lakshminarayanan@youthdreamersfoundation.org>"
NEXTAUTH_URL=https://scholarsaathi-builder.ydfindia.org
What I expected
The test email to be sent from Typebot using Zoho SMTP.
At least some log output in typebot-builder container (success or failure)
Extra Info:
Typebot version: baptistearno/typebot-builder:latest
Hosted on: Ubuntu 22.04 VPS
Verified Zoho SMTP via telnet
SMTP credentials and domain verified (SPF/DKIM)
Tried enabling/disabling SMTP_SECURE, confirmed correct port
Open questions
Is Zoho SMTP compatible with Typebot’s setup?
Am I missing any required environment variables?
How can I enable debug logs for SMTP in Typebot?
Does typebot-viewer also require SMTP config?

No error logs?
Usullay the From email format should be
John <john@email.com>In docker Container I can't find any logs
No logs, I can't help much, what are you trying exactly? What makes you think it does not work?
Thank you for your time, I just changed the NEXT_PUBLIC_SMTP_FROM env as you said it resolved my problem
Great 🙌
Generaly is there any location that logs are stored ?
Only in the server console
I am using docker compose file and Where I can see ?
Please for basic tech questions ask ChatGPT 😅🙏
Nothing to do with Typebot
This is usually related to the email provider's permission to accept remote SMTP requests. Contact Zoho support and request permission. If the email is hosted on cPanel, ask the WHM admin to allow the IP address of the server hosting Typebot.
