Hi, I have installed Discourse on a standalone server and use Titan Email as my email provider. I have spend all day searching the community and tried every varitation I can think of with the settings but emails still won’t send. These are my settings. ## 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: smtp.titan.email DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465 DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: hello@mydomain.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: mypass #DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: plain #DISCOURSE_SMTP_DOMAIN: community.mydomian.com DISCOURSE_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL: hello@mydomain.com Can anyone help me figure out where I am going wrong?

No unfortunately. I had 587 with Enable start TLS on and commented out, neither worked. I should have also posted this which is the error when I run Discord Doctor ======================================== ERROR ======================================== UNEXPECTED ERROR Net::ReadTimeout ====================================== SOLUTION ======================================= This is not a common error. No recommended solution exists! Please report the exact error message above to https://meta.discourse.org/ (And a solution, if you find one!) Replacing: SMTP_PASSWORD Replacing: LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL Replacing: DEVELOPER_EMAILS Replacing: DISCOURSE_DB_PASSWORD Replacing: Sending mail to

I also ran this from the command line and it works, which is why I think there is something with the settings in app.yml that aren’t right. swaks --to bec@.com --from hello@.com --server smtp.titan.email --port 587 --auth-user hello@****.com --auth-password “mypass” --tls

[image] becl: from the command line On the host? Does it work on the host but fail in the container? In any case, try doing it by hand and see how far you get.

Finally working changed it to 587 with ENABLE_START_TLS true and commented out #DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: plain I was sure I had tried this at some point today. Perhaps I put the port number back to front or forgot to rebuild discourse in between. The moral don’t do things when you are tired and stressed!

Does it work if you change the port to 587?
