# Hermes Email Platform
## Configuration
Provider: Postfix + Dovecot → direct delivery (no relay)
Credentials: - Mailbox: `[email protected]` (CyberPanel MySQL `e_users.password`) - SMTP username: `[email protected]` - SMTP password: [REDACTed] — stored in `/home/kaburu/.hermes/.env` on kaburuaibox - SMTP relay: `smtp-relay.brevo.com:587`
Hermes config: - Location: `~/.hermes/config.yaml` - Section: `platforms.email.enabled = true` - Target: `email:[email protected]`
Environment variables (kaburuaibox): ```bash [email protected] EMAIL_PASSWORD=*** EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=mail.kaburu.cc EMAIL_IMAP_HOST=mail.kaburu.cc EMAIL_IMAP_PORT=993 EMAIL_SMTP_PORT=587 [email protected] [email protected] EMAIL_POLL_INTERVAL=30 ```
## Troubleshooting
Symptom: 535 Error: authentication failed
Steps: 1. Enable email platform in Hermes: `hermes config set platforms.email.enabled true` 2. Verify `EMAIL_PASSWORD` set in `/home/kaburu/.hermes/.env` 3. Reset mailbox password in CyberPanel MySQL: `UPDATE e_users SET password='{CRYPT}<hash>' WHERE email='[email protected]'` 4. Check Hetzner mail.log for Postfix delivery status
Log location: `/var/log/mail.log` on Hetzner (kaburusvr)
Success pattern: ``` postfix/smtpd[PID]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed (old) postfix/smtpd[PID]: from=gwen@kaburu.cc, size=777, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/smtp[PID]: to=web@kaburu.co, relay=smtp-relay.brevo.com[1.179.115.1]:587, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK) ```
