Sto configurando una nuova installazione su Ubuntu, sto usando Zoho come provider di posta elettronica. Ho abilitato l’autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) per l’account admin ma non per l’account noreply, quindi sto usando la password dell’applicazione 2FA che ho creato per la password SMTP.
Ho il sito web in esecuzione dietro NGINX, le email sono l’unico problema che sto riscontrando al momento.
Ecco l’output del mio discourse doctor:

run:

## If you want to set the 'From' email address for your first registration, uncomment and change:
## After getting the first signup email, re-comment the line. It only needs to run once.
#- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email='info@unconfigured.discourse.org'"
- exec: echo "End of custom commands"
Ho anche testato la connessione con OpenSSL e mi sta dando il via libera.
Attualmente non sono sicuro di quale sia il problema che impedisce il funzionamento. Ho PiHole configurato davanti sulla rete, anche se ho la stessa email noreply che invia email dalla mia configurazione VaultWarden.
(Sì, sto puntando a un altro anno di installazione (spero) e sono arrivato più lontano di qualsiasi altro tentativo finora.)
Qualsiasi aiuto sarebbe molto apprezzato,
