I am having quite the time getting email to work with my new Discourse server. I am using DigitalOcean to host. There doesn’t seem to be any problem there. The server is running and I’m able to log in. I am using G Suite as my admin email, but not handling site email. I am using Namecheap for DNS…

You should check the mail debugging document. The problem is between sendgrid and your mail server that is refusing connections from sendgrid.

Digital Ocean, G Suite, SendGrid, Namecheap

What is the notification email in your discourse admin? I think that needs to be corrected.
