I dont know but why… cPanel SMTP never works with Discourse.
Actually, I recently installed discourse on my brand new ubuntu vps. I have a cPanel server on a different dedicated server. cPanel SMTP settings always work with all softwares, including wordpress and flarum, but the same settings doesn’t work with Discourse.
Ok, details:
address | mail.domain.com |
port | 587 |
user_name | forums@domain.com |
authentication | plain |
enable_starttls_auto | true |
Test mail never goes. Sending test Email… for 5 minutes. After a very long time:
There was a problem sending the test email. Please double-check your mail settings, verify that your host is not blocking mail connections, and try again.
This is the cPanel Email, the very first email that sends configuration.
Confused because here it is port SSL and discourse says TLS
