It’s been a while but I just made a forum with email pro from ovh and it works, with a pro2 smtp server. I imagine this it too late, but it can help others. Here is a little guide : - When you associate your domain, make sure to select the second option : - In the settings, we were on the right track `DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: pro2.mail.ovh.net` `DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587` `DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: name@domain.com` `DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: ""` `DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true` `DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login` - I still had some issues. In (forum)/admin/email/skipped I noticed an error : `550 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender` - I double checked the setting `notification email` and bingo, it wasn’t the same as the email I set up in the app.yml (it automatically set up a `noreply@domain.com` instead of the email I’ve used. So make sure the email set in `DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME` and `notification email` admin setting are the same, and it should work. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-smtp-from-ovh/104670)._
