Which free mail servers can be used for Discourse? I’m looking for recommendations. I tried QQ and 163, but neither worked.

Hi, I use Brevo , with up to 300 emails per day, which I find sufficiently adequate for the needs of most small-scale forums. If your forum is larger than this, host your own email server would be a better choice.

Hello,

I tried to telnet to Brevo’s port 587 on my Ubuntu server, but I couldn’t connect. My server is located in Hong Kong, and all my server ports are open.
