Title: Activation email sent but account not activated / activation link confusion Hi, I’m running a self-hosted Discourse (Docker). SMTP test emails are sending successfully (verified via Gmail), but newly registered users do not receive or cannot complete account activation properly. What I’ve …

Hmm… what SMTP provider are you using?

Thanks Nate I’m using local SMTP (Postfix) on the server — not a third-party provider yet. Testing activation emails now. Thanks. The domain is forum.168my.my — feel free to do a test registration to check whether the activation email is received on your side. Thanks

You can activate the initial account via rails too, alternatively you can choose to set up discourse with the new installer and opt for discourse id. That makes email optional unless you need it for email notifications.

I use docker-mailserver https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver It is as simple as a mail server is going to get and runs on the same server as discourse. It doesn’t use a database, keeping the emails in a flat file so not super high volume set up but it works.
