I’ve been trying for days now to integrate Discourse into the Digital Ocean account, and I just know it’s something extremely simple, but I’ve tried 10 different ways and the email just never sends.  
The following is the information (minus pass of course) into it and then the cpanel email information. If someone has any ideas what I input wrong, please tell me. Thank you.

Enter the email address to use for the Discourse admin account (ex. user@example .org) [admin@community.gamermeld.com](mailto:admin@community.gamermeld.com)  
Enter the domain or subdomain pointed to this Discourse instance (ex. forum.exam [ple.org](http://ple.org)): [community.gamermeld.com](http://community.gamermeld.com)  
Enter the SMTP server to use to send email (ex: [smtp.example.org](http://smtp.example.org)): [community.gamermeld.com](http://community.gamermeld.com)  
SMTP Port (default 587):2525  
SMTP Username (ex. [user@example.org](mailto:user@example.org)): [admin@community.gamermeld.com](mailto:admin@community.gamermeld.com)  
SMTP Password:  
Thanks! Your Discourse instance is now being configured…this can take a few minutes…

Non-SSL Settings  
(This is NOT recommended.)  
Username: [admin@community.gamermeld.com](mailto:admin@community.gamermeld.com)  
Password: Use the email account’s password.

POP3 Port: 110

Secure SSL/TLS Settings  
(Recommended)  
Username: [admin@community.gamermeld.com](mailto:admin@community.gamermeld.com)  
Password: Use the email account’s password.  
Incoming Server: [secureus78.sgcpanel.com](http://secureus78.sgcpanel.com)
