So I’ve got everything set up except my email, and it’s just returning this very basic error I can’t figure out how to fix. Rendered layouts/email_template.html.erb (Duration: 0.2ms | Allocations: 30) Delivered mail d8a282d1-d293-4f95-b613-de340fb94bdb@banlist.inobservatus.xyz (465.2ms) Job exception: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: sslv3 alert handshake failure

I have no clue how to do this. My VPS is routed through my webserver. Do I need to add the SSL on the website or on the VPS? (I’m using DigitalOcean) Also, for the SMTP username and password - is that just a username and password for one of the emails on my domain? Unrelated, but the email has the format system@example.com. Do I need to change anything since its not on discourse.example.com?

[image] Inobservatus: is that just a username and password for one of the emails on my domain? Maybe it’s a little hard to guess as there are many ways your mail server might be configured. If sounds like it is accessible via many host name but only one has a valid certificate. If you run discourse-setup it’ll prompt you for the sending address.

I got the SSL set up. What would the SMTP username and password be for a normal installation? I’m still getting the SSL error in the first post so I’m unsure if that is related to the mailserver’s certificate or the VPS’s.

It looks like the ssl certificate for your mail server is invalid. Can you fix that?
