I got this message on my dashboard: There are 95 email jobs that failed. Check your app.yml and ensure that the mail server settings are correct. The site is an SMTP-less install on a discourse.diy domain. Sidekiq shows: Next Retry Retry Count Queue Job Arguments Error right now 0 defa…

Thanks for posting! That email doesn’t work is expected, but the errors you are seeing are unusual. They might be due to something else in your setup. When I try to send an invite on my test self-hosted instance, I see this error: Jobs::HandledExceptionWrapper: Wrapped Socket::ResolutionError: ge…
