Hi! I just installed Discourse and my STMP Details are correct but I still do not get emails I reran everything. My details were: Admin: devxorwhatever@gmail.com Then I used a mailgun account for the rest it was like postmaster@sandbox79c1c2ead8b24728813d3f8584nfad3b1.mailgun.org ^ This is a fa…

You can check your logs at mailgun. If you’re not getting a bad password error then you’re likely sending from an address that mailgun is not configured for. You need to set the NOTIFICATION_EMAIL to whatever you configured mailgun for.

Have you gone trough other topics like this one? [image] Mailgun issue (not sending emails) Support So I have everything set-up. I’m getting all my emails but when someone else tries registering or performing an administrative action, such as granting perm…

Yes I have gone through other topics like that! [Screenshot 2023-01-22 144230] This is how it looks Is there a way that I can bypass the email verification just for the installation completion? Im not sure if it is throwing my emails away

No. am not a 100% sure tho. I’ve been trough the installation at least 50 times. If you follow the official installation guide it should work. could be a miss typo and in a lot of my cases a fresh install and make sure all DNSs are correct should do trick.

They are I copied all the details from mailgun its self its worth to mention I did not do verification with a credit card

If the domain is new today the DNS propagation might still be in progress. That could take up to 72 hours but often less. If not you should wait for someone with proper skills to help you out. :blush:

Also my server is a very secure one and discourse doctor says sudo: unable to resolve host vps.redacted.tk: Name or service not known

Timeout to open TCP connection to stmp.mailgun.org:587 (exceeds 5 seconds) Thats another error

It should be smtp.mailgun.org not stmp - I’ve corrected your title!

If it’s the sandbox then you need to do what’s required to configure it. The sandbox will be able to send only to you, and then you’ll need to do this all over again when you want to have a forum that other people can use.
