Hi, I’m using SMTP server from OVH. I created login, password and opened discourse-setup file. After all, I do rebuild, but Discourse still don’t send mails. I saw topic on meta, but change configuration still don’t help. Can anyone help? Thanks! Sorry for my English

My guess is that the domain name you are using is not approved by the mail host. By defaul Discourse will send from the host name of the site. Mail server is probably set for example.com and Discourse is using forum.example.com. There is a line at the bottom of the configuration file to change it.

No, my examples are with forum on https. You should contact OVH or check your guide in the webmail to know what smtp you have to put

Did anyone succeed with OVH Email-Pro and Discourse? I tried these: DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: pro2.mail.ovh.net DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: admin@mydomain.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: mypassword DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true) DISCOUR…
