I just noticed this error message on my login page: All outgoing email is disabled because no SMTP server has been configured. No emails of any kind can be sent. When i check Admin>Email Settings, I see this: [image] I can’t post attachments, but I can upload the app.yml file if that helps. I a…

To confirm, a rebuild doesn’t work? Are you using Discourse ID?

Does ./launcher rebuild app help? Are you using Discourse ID ? Thanks.

Got you. I assume ./launcher rebuild app is working. I updated the app.yml file, saved it, and ran the command. It went through the rebuild and brought in the new SMTP settings. I do see “Login with Discourse ID” on the login page. My user account is a local account. [Screenshot_20260225-062914]

I am on the latest version. Is there any place to report it? Any additional info/files/logs needed?

Could you check out Troubleshooting Outgoing Email ? That may help.
