Kratos 0.7.* installed from a helm chart can't send e-mails

[valentinyanakiev]

Describe the bug

Kratos has released version 0.7.6-alpha1 with significant updates but Helm chart uses 0.6.3-alpha1.
Manually specifying the version leads to exceptions in kratos courier.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Ory Kratos from Helm chart with custom Kratos image defined, e.g.
   image:
   repository: oryd/kratos
   tag: v0.7.6-alpha.1
   pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

2. Trigger login flow --> OK

3. Trigger logout flow --> OK

4. Trigger recovery / verification flow --> emails are not sent. Tested with mailslurper as part of the tech stack:
   courier:
   smtp:
   connection_uri: smtps://test:test@mailslurper-api:1025/?skip_ssl_verify=true

5. Checking the kratos courier logs show go exceptions.

Expected behavior

Emails should be sent. The same configuration works seamlessly with Kratos 0.6.3-alpha1.

Is your environment on k8s? How do you deploy it - I see the helm chart is outdated and has been since 0.7.* has been released - it deploys 0.6.3-alpha1 by default. Do you override it manually?

yes and yes - see also pinned issue: #195

I will close this issue - found a way around it. Overriding kratos image + using the same URL params for mailslurper as in the kratos quickstart solved it for me.
