I swear to God, I’ve been sitting in a chair for 4 hours trying to figure out how to set up my forum to send emails. I looked at the Discourse documentation and didn’t understand a thing. I found hundreds of questions here on the forum, but the administrators who answer have a habit of answering very technically, with few instructions. I feel like a real idiot incapable of doing something that should be so simple. It took me a little over 40 minutes to set up a Debian station, install Discourse, open the ports on my firewall and get it to work on my DDNS. However, I’ve been trying to figure out for 4 hours how to set up the email to notify new users, validate registrations, etc. Is there really no step-by-step tutorial? I’ve looked everywhere on the internet and couldn’t find anything. Could someone who knows how to do it, who is having a good day, in a good mood and with a light heart, help me? Thank you! May God bless the soul of whoever helps me!

You need to set up a mail sender to do that such as mailgun, brevo, elastic email, or another that is the first step you must choose your sender then there are few steps to make that work. Firstly this means you need to create an account with a transactional e-mail sender then integrate that with your discourse install. This is step two of the standard install: docs/INSTALL-cloud.md main # Install Discourse on a Cloud Server > To install and self-host Discourse, follow the steps below. But if you'd rather skip the setup, maintenance, and server management, our official Discourse hosting plans (Free, Pro, Business or Enterprise) take care of everything for you. > > [Learn more about Discourse hosting](https://discourse.org/pricing) > If you prefer to self-host but need help setting it up we have partners who can help. > [Click here to explore self-hosting set-up options](https://discourse.org/partners). **Set up Discourse in about 10 minutes** with zero knowledge of Rails or Linux shell.

Email server setup and maintenance is _very_ difficult even for experienced system administrators, and getting any part of the complex required email setup wrong means your email won't be delivered, or worse, delivered erratically. The following are template configurations for email service providers known to work with Discourse. _The pricing information is included as a courtesy, and may be out of date. Discourse does not control the pricing for external services, be sure to check with the email provider for up to date pricing information._ **Please note that in any email provider, you _must_ verify and use the subdomain, e.g. `discourse.example.com`. If you verify the domain only, e.g. `example.com`, mail will not be configured correctly.** Enter these values when prompted by `./discourse-setup` per the [install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration). To change the current email service, run `./discourse-setup` as well (this will bring the forum offline for a few minutes while it gets rebuilt). #### [Brevo, previously SendInBlue, GDPR][sb] — 300 email per day free SMTP server address? smtp-relay.brevo.com SMTP user name?

Do you know how to REMOVE the requirement to verify email to create new accounts? The only thing I needed for email to work was the function to validate new registrations. I think this is also unnecessary. The user can simply enter their name and password and they are already on the forum. Can you tell me if this is possible?
