Hey! I need some help with setting up, i can go into PUTTY etc, I mainly need help with SMTP (getting a service or smthn), If you have discord please let me know if you can help me. Thanks.

You want to use a service like mailgun. I believe that the cloud install document recommends several. If you want to run your own mail server, you’ll need to get help elsewhere. It’s just not that easy anymore.

Thanks, I just found a tutorial for mailgun :slight_smile:

Update: I need some help with SMTP, I have it all set up, I upgraded my mailgun acc but It won’t send emails.

Do you get anything in your mailgun logs?

Look at the mailgun logs; if they are empty. Use port 2525 for the SMTP port. You can re-run discourse-setup to change it.

Failed: noreply@discourse.do.co → ultrahartford@gmail.com '[The Hotel Forum] Confirm new Admin Account' Server response: 550 5.7.1 Unauthenticated email from do.co is not accepted due to domain's DMARC 5.7.1 policy. Please contact the administrator of do.co domain if this was 5.7.1 a legitimate mail. Please visit 5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2451690 to learn about the 5.7.1 DMARC initiative. g13-v6si1623047qtq.329 - gsmtp From Mailgun

The links in the message you pasted tell you exactly what the problem is and how to fix it. It’s possible that sending to http://www.mail-tester.com will give more info.

I don’t know how to, Do I use mail tester for what?

For the first, Go to settings and change your notification email. Change it from noreply@discourse.do.co to something like noreply@yourdomain.tld
