I’ve fresh installation of discourse on amazon EC2 instance and have been configured SMTP with G suite corporate account. But can’t finish initial settings because of SMTP. I’ve tried different smtp settings but with no success.
```
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.gmail.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: my@corporate.email
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "mypassword"
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true
```
This is my final settings.
And I’ve read a lot of topics on discourse forum but haven’t solution. Please help.

I suggest the official email troubleshooting #howto.
Also if you read that topic you’d see
> Not entirely sure what you’re asking – you mean in the context of that error? **Yes, the G Suite (neé Google Apps) domain is custom, not @gmail.com.**
So if your `SMTP_ADDRESS` is [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) that already seems wrong. You should be using your actual domain there, as configured in G suite.

Or per the above, `smtp-relay.gmail.com` maybe?

Thx Jeff, I’ve configured SMPT as it shown in google instructions. And I’ve also try [smtp-relay.gmail.com](http://smtp-relay.gmail.com) and [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) ports 465, 587.
My email not a \*\*\*\*@gmail.com. I’m using exact my G Suite email account.
**So, finally I did it!**
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ADDRESS: [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PORT: 465 → And I’ve also changed port to 587
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_USER\_NAME: my@corporate.email
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PASSWORD: “mypassword” ← error here. I’ve removed quotes and all works just fine.
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ENABLE\_START\_TLS: true
By the way quotes where added while bootstrapping.
Thx for reply
