Open an SSH session to your account.
Open $HOME/webapps/app/redmine/config/configuration.yml, in a text editor, where app is the name of the Redmine application.
Under default: replace these lines:
email_delivery: delivery_method: :smtp smtp_settings: address: smtp.example.net port: 25 domain: example.net authentication: :login user_name: "redmine@example.net" password: "redmine"
with these lines:
email_delivery: delivery_method: :smtp smtp_settings: enable_starttls_auto: true address: smtp.webfaction.com port: 587 domain: <domain> authentication: :plain user_name: "<mailbox>" password: "<password>"
