Hi. First of all. Thanks very much for this great product :smile: I try to configure a new Discourse instance on my OVH VPS in order to send mail with mailjet (or mandrill) but no mail send. I tried many things without success. Any idea? Where can I find logs? My config below: env: ## TODO: List of comma delimited emails that will be made admin and developer ## on initial signup example 'user1@example.com,user2@example.com' DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: "bmxperience@gmail.com" ## TODO: The domain name this Discourse instance will respond to DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: "discourse.bmxperience.com" ## TODO: The mailserver this Discourse instance will use DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: "in-v3.mailjet.com" # (mandatory) DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 # (optional) DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: "my-mailjet-api-key" # (optional) DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "my-mailjet-secret-key" # (optional, WARNING the char '#' in pw can cause problems!) #DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true) . . . run: - exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands" ## If you want to set the 'From' email address for your first registration, uncomment and change: - exec: rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email='forum@bmxperience.com'" ## After getting the first signup email, re-comment the line. It only needs to run once. I successfully send mail using telnet: root@vps197853:~# telnet in-v3.mailjet.com 587 Trying 46.105.54.204... Connected to in.mailjet.com.

Did you try disabling TLS in the config? That would be a difference between your settings and the telnet test.

I’m not to familiar with mail jet as I use Send Grid with my discourse instance but that shouldn’t matter. if you force an email to be sent from discourse (sign up a test user etc) and when you check on yor mail jet dashboard, do any outbound emails show. If so are they being “dropped” ? have you verified your SMTP settings on yourdiscourse/admin/email ?

Good point! I changed this line:

DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false # (optional, default true)

and… it works!

Thanks very much.
