@tkdhanasekar, I have merged your topics with each other. Please do not make duplicate topics. Future duplicate topics will be deleted. Also, please note that the only supported install here is the official install. Support for all other installs, like installing without Docker, will be extremely limited if or non-existent.

sorry for the duplicate topic , will not happen again

[image] tkdhanasekar: smtp_address = "smtp.gmail.com" smtp_port = 587 smtp_domain = sampledomain.in smtp_user_name = "mymail@gmail.com" smtp_password = "*********" smtp_authentication = login notification_email = noreply@sampledomain.in smtp_enable_start_tls = true Gmail isn’t a supported mail provider. There are lots of reasons that the email can be stopped at Google, my recommendation would be to use one of the supported providers.

I’m experiencing the very same or very similar issue. As admin I can sent a test email to outside & real address but when I try to register with that very (or any) address then… nothing happens. I have control over the mail server and as I’m looking at its logs - as for user registration or as if admin re-sending activation email - it appears that there is no attempt to communicate, to connect to mail server. Without debugging Discourse logs: Started POST "/u/action/send_activation_email" for 10.3.9.144 at 2023-08-29 18:34:14 +0000 Processing by UsersController#send_activation_email as */* Parameters: {"username"=>"lemko"} Rendered text template (Duration: 0.0ms | Allocations: 1) Completed 200 OK in 39ms (Views: 1.6ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms | Allocations: 2848) I’m novice so go easy on me when ask - this is not because I do not have sidekiq right?
