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:

> smtp\_address = “[smtp-mail.outlook.com](http://smtp-mail.outlook.com)”  
> smtp\_port = 587  
> smtp\_domain = [example.com](http://example.com)  
> smtp\_user\_name = ‘username@hotmail.com’  
> smtp\_password = ‘emailpassword’  
> smtp\_enable\_start\_tls = true

at this address: /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs/config/discourse.conf:  
But here is my issue. When I go into discourse to test it it shows this:

no matter what I do, and I cant figure it out. Please help!
