Hi there, I have set up Discourse with [elest.io](http://elest.io) which works great. However, I am having trouble setting up the email settings with Brevo (ex Sendinblue). I need a

- Host
- User
- Password
- Port

In den ENV Settings on [elest.io](http://elest.io), this is what I used:

```plaintext
DISCOURSE_SMTP_HOST=smtp-relay.brevo.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT=587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME=MY@LOGIN-EMAIL.COM
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD=MY-BREVO-SMTP-KEY
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTH=plain

```

I replaced the password with my freshly created API SMTP key and the email with my SMTP login user from Brevo.

However, this is not working. No emails are sent out via Brevo. Any ideas how to approach or debug this?  
Thanks!
