I have set up Discourse and activated my account email, but why am I still receiving emails with account activation information every so often? How can I configure this to solve this bug?

Welcome!
Is this a self-hosted site?
Are these emails sent to the same address that you successfully registered?
Did you request an activation email a bunch of times before you got your mail configured (if so, then it’s a good bet that all of those emails will eventually be sent).

Thank you for the reply. I have set up Discourse on my own cloud server. The setup was successful, and emails can be sent, for example, when a new account is registered and activated. However, it keeps sending emails repeatedly afterward, and when I click the link, the account can no longer be activated. The same issue occurs when requesting a forgotten password.

You see the smtp error on the log. There is still sometime wrong auth your mail server.

It has been received normally, why is this exception still occurring?
Below is my configuration

I have had this problem for a long time, fortunately there are not many users. I will manually stop it once I see it. If it’s resolved, please @rui5man

It hasn’t been resolved, how can it be resolved? I still encounter it when I rebuild.
I pulled the latest version, is there a stable version?

Are there any repetitive errors in your main logs? “/logs”?

might be more convenient to look in `/logs` with a filter on errors - your top screenshot is sidekiq queue - not really the focus of my suggestion.

Can you elaborate on the method?
What logs are needed?
I currently only see this information log.

You add /logs to the URL of your forum, or you use the link at the top right of the logs section of your forum.

the browser-based logs viewer will allow you to filter on errors - a lot easier than searching logs by tailing the file unless you are really used to the command line.

DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_SSL: true This attribute was added by me earlier to try and resolve this error.

Disabling TLS is: DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ENABLE\_START\_TLS: false??
