I managed to succeed with OVH, you have to add some things.

With a pro mail server ([fr](https://www.ovh.com/fr/emails/email-pro/) - [uk](https://www.ovh.co.uk/emails/email-pro/))

```
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: pro1.mail.ovh.net
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: email@forum.com
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "password"
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login # (you need to add this line)

```

If you have a classic web hosting alongside the forum

```
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: ssl0.ovh.net
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: email@forum.com
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "password"
  #DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)

```

But if you have a dedicated smtp server, can’t help, sorry

It should work
