thank you for your reply. I tried using the same adress in both fields, no change, same error.  
Following the Troubleshooting thread:

## What do the Discourse logs say?

`Job exception: Cannot assign requested address - connect(2) for [_correct IPv6_]:587

## What do your email provider logs say?

No log entries show up relating to mails sent from discourse.

I then tried this Method [https://www.saotn.org/test-smtp-authentication-starttls/](https://www.saotn.org/test-smtp-authentication-starttls/) to see if I would be able to authenticate through openssl, and it works fine from the server, but not from inside the container, it produces the error I described in the first post.

How can I find out what is blocking the connection here?
