Hey Everyone, Having this issue with SMTP. Worked before but now I am getting errors that I cannot really tell are leading me to… /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/protocol.rb:225:in `rbuf_fill' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/protocol.rb:191:in `readuntil' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/protocol.rb:201:in `readline' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:950:in `recv_response' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:935:in `block in getok' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:960:in `critical' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:933:in `getok' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:919:in `quit' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:612:in `do_finish' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:521:in `ensure in start' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/smtp.rb:521:in `start' mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/smtp.rb:109:in `start_smtp_session' mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/smtp.rb:100:in `deliver!' mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/message.rb:2159:in `do_delivery' mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/message.rb:260:in `block in deliver' actionmailer-6.0.1/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:589:in `block in deliver_mail' activesupport-6.0.1/lib/active_support/notifications.rb:180:in `block in instrument' activesupport-6.0.1/lib/active_support/notifications/instrumenter.rb:24:in `instrument' activesupport-6.0.1/lib/active_support/notifications.rb:180:in `instrument' actionmailer-6.0.1/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:587:in `deliver_mail' mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/message.rb:260:in `deliver' actionmailer-6.0.1/lib/action_mailer/message_delivery.rb:114:in `block in deliver_now' actionmailer-6.0.1/lib/action_mailer/rescuable.rb:17:in `handle_exceptions' actionmailer-6.0.1/lib/action_mailer/message_delivery.rb:113:in `deliver_now' /var/www/discourse/lib/email/sender.rb:213:in `send' /var/www/discourse/app/jobs/regular/download_backup_email.rb:21:in `execute' /var/www/discourse/app/jobs/base.rb:232:in `block (2 levels) in perform' rails_multisite-2.1.1/lib/rails_multisite/connection_management.rb:64:in `with_connection' /var/www/discourse/app/jobs/base.rb:221:in `block in perform' /var/www/discourse/app/jobs/base.rb:217:in `each' /var/www/discourse/app/jobs/base.rb:217:in `perform' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:196:in `execute_job' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:164:in `block (2 levels) in process' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/middleware/chain.rb:138:in `block in invoke' /var/www/discourse/lib/sidekiq/pausable.rb:138:in `call' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/middleware/chain.rb:140:in `block in invoke' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/middleware/chain.rb:143:in `invoke' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:163:in `block in process' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:136:in `block (6 levels) in dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/job_retry.rb:111:in `local' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:135:in `block (5 levels) in dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq.rb:37:in `block in ' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:131:in `block (4 levels) in dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:257:in `stats' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:126:in `block (3 levels) in dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/job_logger.rb:13:in `call' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:125:in `block (2 levels) in dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/job_retry.rb:78:in `global' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:124:in `block in dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/logger.rb:10:in `with' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/job_logger.rb:33:in `prepare' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:123:in `dispatch' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:162:in `process' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:78:in `process_one' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/processor.rb:68:in `run' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/util.rb:15:in `watchdog' sidekiq-6.0.5/lib/sidekiq/util.rb:24:in `block in safe_thread'

Here is what my config looks like: ## TODO: The SMTP mail server used to validate new accounts and send notifications # SMTP ADDRESS, username, and password are required # WARNING the char '#' in SMTP password can cause problems! DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtpout.secureserver.net DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: xxxxxxxxx@cmmchub.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "Password" #DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true #DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)

Have you also updated the notification_email for your discourse?
