Cannot configure SMTP: "Unparseable URL" error using simple Email destination

[fabianbl]

I’m encountering persistent “Unparseable URL” errors when trying to set up a basic SMTP email notification in LogForge Notifier via the UI or YAML config.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter a straightforward configuration (see attached screenshot):

SMTP Host: mail.test.com
Port: 587
Username: info@test.com
Password: SIMPLEPASSWORD
Recipients: receiver@receiver.com

2. Check LogForge notifier logs, which reports: "ERROR - Unparseable URL smtp://i...m:P...D@m...m:587/?to=r...m"

I also tried updating logforge-notifier:/app/data/config.yaml manually, to check if a different URL format would be needed, but without success.

Any advice on how to get this working?

Thanks in advance!

@fabianbl Thanks for the clear and concise info! I've identified the issue, you were right to suspect "logforge-notifier:/app/data/config.yaml manually, to check if a different URL format would be needed".

Try replacing smtp:// with mailto:// in the logforge-notifier:/app/data/config.yaml.

I'll be adding a fix, and stronger guardrails in the backend and will push in due time.

Thanks for pointing this out!
