The original poster, John_Schwitz, had issues with setting up email on a Bitnami install of Discourse on Google Cloud. They eventually solved the problem by using port 2525 instead of 587, as Google Cloud blocks the latter. They provided logs of various errors encountered, including issues with Sendgrid and PostgreSQL connections.
Others, including codinghorror and Stephen, noted that Bitnami installs are not supported on this forum, and users should contact the package maintainer for assistance. Mackeno also reported issues with using SMTP Gmail, receiving an error message related to application-specific passwords.
Smooth install except I cannot get email to work. I cannot get sendgrid to work with Discourse. I believe the problem is on the server. Enclosed are logs. PROBLEM SOLVED SEE BELOW
