Hello. I have been having issues with the email, mainly in that I dont know how to set it up. Basically I have configured Disourse completely, but it cant send emails. I installed it with bitnami and I followed their guides, but I am still not sure! Here is my configuration:
No, Gmail is totally unsupported, using Gmail to send email from Discourse is a breach of Google’s ToS.
Use one of the free service providers linked in the above doc with a supportable installation.
Just to be very clear, we can’t help you with this or any other Discourse issues if you’re on a Bitnami package. I would really urge you install discourse in the correct way - the process takes 30 minutes or less and will leave you with a significantly more reliable setup.
