Hi I just started using Discourse and everything went well but the email. My SMTP server is from AWS SES, my Discourse server is located in AWS as well but I can’t recieve emails coming from Discourse and I don’t know where to look for solutions.
What I have done so far:
- Checked the app.yml file multiple times and rebuilt the application.
- Trail the production.log, sent an email and got this:
> Started POST “/admin/email/test” for IP at 2016-10-17 21:45:37 +0000
> Processing by Admin::EmailController#test as _/_
> Parameters: {“email\_address”=\>“[xxxxxx@gmail.com](mailto:xxxxxx@gmail.com)”}
> Sent mail to [xxxxxx@gmail.com](mailto:xxxxxx@gmail.com) (2943.4ms)
> Rendered text template (0.0ms)
> Completed 200 OK in 3166ms (Views: 2.6ms | ActiveRecord: 13.6ms)
So no error on the log.
- I ssh in my Discourse machine and could send an email using the command line and the same credentials Discourse have. So it shouldn’t be the machine or domain because I could send it and recieve it normally.
What else can I do? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Do you see the test email logged as “sent” in admin? Or is it in the “skipped” logs, like this:
You might see a reason for the failure in one of those tabs.

It was on skipped with this error message:
> Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-EAST-1: [sender@email.com](mailto:sender@email.com), [target@email.com](mailto:target@email.com)
I will look into it, thanks

It was a problem in my Discourse config on app.yml, now everything is working fine, thanks!
