Hello, there is a problem with my mail domain `smtp.yandex.com`, when i’m trying to setup discourse at my debian server. Problem is readtimeout when i trying to use my credentials with port 465, port 587 is forbidden for use by yandex and port 25 just closed. Was found some information about this issue with yandex and advice is - for discourse use Mailgun. So, now i try to find another way. At the same server was installed postfix, who can easily auth with the same creds on smtp server and now i’m looking a way to force them work together. I mean how to make postfix communicate with discourse instead of default mail-application, using my postfix configuration? Is it possible? Glad for any ideas, thx. Discourse was installed with this instruction: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)
