You did a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true)? Did you look at [Troubleshooting email on a new Discourse install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326)?

Not sure what it might be. It might actually have to do with `LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL`, but it might not.

Can you share what the problem and solution was for others to see?
I noticed in your OP that your password was too short. A minimum of 15 characters is required for an Admin account.

Probably i didnt saw “password too short” text. That must be in a red box but i used Discourse doctor and changed my SMTP provider to the mailgun.
